P-----(1d)-----1H------(X!) alerted as 4 or + ♠ & 6pts+
3C FSJ-(p)---???

Jxxx
AJxxxx
void
AQx

all white

Our FSJ requirement are a bit loose. KQx or xxxx is adequate support. QJTxx or AJ9xx is adequate side suit.

4♥

Very tempting to bid 4♣, which is not a cuebid, but simply informs partner about the double-fit, enabling him to make an informed decision, if the opponents bid on, after our 4♥.

I do, however, want to give my opponents as little bidding space as possible.

If they bid over 4♥ I take the push myself, unless partner has doubled.

Best Regards

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

3♦ or 4♦ depending if 3♦ can be just extras or does it show shortness. Slam is indeed easily in picture.

P propably has something like that which pretty much makes me want to be in a slam.

4♦, catering both for the possibility of a slam and for further competition.

A supposedly uninformative jump to game in this sort of position never seems to work for me.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I'd sign off, having a minimum and a wasted queen. I'd blame the opponents for our missing this slam - they had 19 points and a spade fit, so they might have had the decency to say so.
