I agree with Josh.... there is an argument for a 4-level transfer then 5♣ exclusion, but there are lots of downsides... you tell the opps way too much, re the opening lead, and after all, partner's AK of clubs may be exactly what you need.

6♦ - Everything's bigger in Texas :)

Actually, I'll transfer and bid 6♥, since I rarely play bridge in Texas.

I think you should play that a Texas transfer followed by 5C is exclusion and 3D followed by 5C is a void splinter (or the other way around but this is more natural to me.) If I decided to bid scientifically then I would definitely use the void splinter.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I'm usually all for bashing but we need so little for 7 (a trick soure and the 3 bullets). I would try exclusion followed by 6C if we have them all.

That sounds like a good plan. Care to elaborate in the practical procedure?

This sounds good, but look at the experts who get the perfect hand for it, and still just blast 6 :P. You can live without some agreements.
