6c sounds to me like a pass or correct to 6d bid... what do you do if he bids 6d now on a 7330 or 6331 hand? i like mike's 5nt, but even tho 6c suffers (imo) from the problem i stated, that would probably be my bid at the table

With 5-6 in the minors I think I would have tried 4♦ on the previous round so I do not think that 6♣ invites 6♦ unless partner has real diamond support.

Scoring: MP

1♣ 1♠
2♦ 3♠
3NT 4NT
PASS


Local Matchpoint tournament. The hand was bid as shown.

North's actions were conservative but he can see partner's likely extreme spade shortage, the duplication in hearts (if partner has something like Kx or Kxx - likely given 3NT) and the poor fit in both minors.

A minimum reverse in this partnership would be (based on the same actual hand):
