You are 100% certain your partner will not bid again.

Ok, 99,9% certain. In the last 0,1% he is sandbagging, and will bid 6♥ regardsless of your bid. So concentrate on the first scenatio.

Someone is Danish dynamite?

Pass, I don't *have* to tell them who has four trumps do I?
We'll try to beat 5♠.
Lead the lowest ♥ and hope for a ♣ return.
When p wins this trick he will see that it asks for a club return, once he realises that a second round of hearts has no chance at all.
Even without the club return this might go off on 1 heart and 2 trump tricks.

I bid 6♥, I am expecting part to have a ♠ void, so 6♥ will be max -1.

In 5♠ we might win 2♠ tricks, but most likely no ♥ tricks, and if we win a ♦ trick it means we can make 6♥.

Before internet age you had a suspicion there are lots of "not-so-smart" people on the planet. Now you even know their names.

I quite like 6H actually...could be off one against +100 or even 300 but like you said, it could easily be cold, as could 5S!!!!!!

Don't realy want to risk that.

Well, X works on the actual hand.

Partner has:

♠-
♥Qxxx
♦Axxxx
♣Kxxx

6♥ is one off, and 5♠ is two off, so you need to collect your 300.

I passed meekly, fearing that a double could give declarer to much information. And I didn't even feel 100% sure, that 5♠ was a not winner.

I never considered 6♥
