Nobody, I'm glad you gave the 9♥. 5♥ cannot make on best defense... and I would hope against contempt defenders they would find it.

6♠ is cold

EDIT: on the layout 6H also makes.

Ah, yes. I looked at this too short, sorry. I still wouldn't want to be in 6 though. Of course 5♠ is optimal imo.

I'll start from the beginning:

LOL @ Pass from west.
I would open 2♠ with the North hand.
I would double 1♣ with the South hand.

I think North is partially more to blame unless your partnership is conservative when pre-empting... I'd go with 55-45. I think that North has an easy 2♠ bid, and South has a relatively easy double, although it's a bit light, I think you keep spades in the picture a lot more when they may be the winning strain. I really don't think after 5♦, either hand can bid 5M unless North doubled first...

And btw... Sorry about my original post, I just glanced at it, and missed everything at first.

I would bid 3S over 3D with the South hand.

Hate North's 2♥ bid, much much prefer 2♠ (not as an opening bid given 6322 and boring suit) then South can thereafter make a 4♦ power raise. So this hand appears to be a 4 or 6 hand.

Mostly South. A 1♥ overcall is the problem. When you have a good enough hand to X and then bid ♥ you should do that to clue in partner who in turn may clue South into the ♠ situation.
