The most instructive part is not bidding this sort of contract.

I could hijack the thread make this hand three harder problems.

i) What's the right line in 4S at IMPs?
ii) What's the right line in 4S at Matchpoints?
iii) What's a good and convincing auction to finish in 4H rather than 4S, which I think is a better spot?

Even experts (Roland :P ) can land into bad slams... :) lol.

As an aside, if partner had the ♠K instead of ♣K would 6♠ be a decent contract? How would one reach it? and in case it is a decent contract, how would one stay out of the slam when partner has the ♣K instead of ♠K?

Be my guest :)

About iii) do you want to consider intervention by opponents too?
