Pass. If your partner's style makes 5♠ the percentage bid with this crappy hand, then he is not bidding 4♠ often enough.

IMO 5♠ = 10, _P = 9, _X = 6
The five-level belongs to me!

So why don't you bid 5NT?
Seriously, I think I'd pass, I can very easily see both contracts go down and no situation where both contracts make. The main thing is that they don't have a double fit because my minor holdings. All that said I think it is not a wtp hand because there are apparently huge quantities of trumps. It's just that my hand is not sharp enough to warrant a 5 over 5.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

This looks like a WTP Pass to me. Can't think of any reason for bidding 5/5 with this bad hand.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Pass.
You have some defence against 5H, a 4S in the
position your partner was, could also contain
some defence, so you may beat 5H.
If I read the bidding correct, opener has some
length in spades but only xxx, since with Hxx,
he may have passed or made a penalty double,
i.e. we will have 7 spade tricks + 1 or 2 ruffs,
the king of clubs.
Maybe you can double, showing a desire to sac,
if partner has no defence at all, but the meaning
of the double needs to be clear to partner.
With kind regards

Pass.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

You mean what to lead?
Our singleton heart isn't an asset and we have a little defense. There is no reason to think 5M is making.
