You must know the rules well - so that you may break them wisely!

East has a clear game bid over 3♣ (even if his spades and diamonds were xx and xx), after which west can bid keycard.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

So I guess you'll play 5 instead of 4?
Does your friend play the Meckwell 2N gizmo over a raise here? If your friend is old-fashioned, 2♥ will show four, more often than not, and if thats the case, I like a 4♣ call over 3♣ which should be 'real clubs'.
Slam isn't great.

WHereas I agree 100% that Opener has a clear game bid, I don't think he should bid game, myself. I think he has a clear 4♣ bid (assuming that this sequence is not one where risk ofa 4-3 heart fit is still viable).
I mean, this is the perfect bid. How much more perfect can you get? No diamond or spade controls, five now-solid clubs, and the trump Ace?
Opposite that call, Responder could just trust partner and bid 6♥.

Why would you think that?

Actually I have to agree. Really I got caught up in the point opener has a game FORCE, and I just said game bid instead.

- Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?
