Why did they X this. I hope you made it Richard; its cold

yes he wrapped it... the opps Xed out of tilt.

PS, would anyone bid my hand differently? Start with 4C? I felt I was definitely worth 1 move over 4H... give partner 2 less spades and 2 more clubs and you will see why <_<

I'm sure lots of people would bid the hand differently, but I am not one of them: not over 3♣, and I suspect that this is a problem that would be rejected if submitted to the BW MSC, for being too obvious :D

3♥ seems unavoidable: how can you suppress QJ in partner's primary suit? (As I am sure you were thinking B) )

Then you are trapped over 4♥. You have 3 working cards and your bidding, while not denying those values, is consistent with none.

Qxxxx xx Kxx Jxx: you'd bid the same way.

So you can hardly pass 4♥. Now partner is caught in his own trap: opposite Kxxx Qx xx Axxx he has to reach slam.

All in all, this hand is a good advertisement for strong club methods :P

For what it is worth, my auction would be 1♥ 1♠ 3♣ (artificial) 3♦ (asking) 3♥ gf one-suiter in ♥.

Now 4♣ by North as a cue bid, 4♦ 4♥ 4N (♠ cuebid, 4♠ would be keycard) 5♥ ppp
