Hi,

I would bid 6D, I have a very nice hand for this auction so far.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

P didn't bid ♠'s and didn't ask for aces, and my hand is limited by my failure to jump. So, I think his 4 ♥ bid at least tentatively agrees ♦'s as trump, shows a ♥ control, and asks me to show a control. I'd bid 5♣, which should enable P to make a good decision as to whether slam is likely or not. :lol:

5D.

It is either 5D or 6D, I would go with 5D,
I like going plus.

With kind regards

6♦. I've shown nothing, partner is making a slam try, I've got the trump ace and a singleton with extra trumps.

I would never bid 5♣: while we may well argue that this cannot be passed, that is an argument that will only arise if and when it is passed, and this hand is going to be a trifle short in the trump department if that were to happen.

As it is, I agree with 6♦, altho, since 4♥ is the only slam try available, I am far from confident that we will bring it home.. we are not ruffing many hearts in dummy, so we have to hope to perform a dummy reversal... which seems a reasonable but not assured probability.
