Scoring: IMP

RHO opens 4♣

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

4NT I think. I don't want partner to bid 5♥ over 5♣.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Going to lose the S-KJ + D-KJ slam. Too bad!
Bid 4H the likely to make bid.

I don't have much confidence that 4♥ will get us to the right contract, but I don't see what action will have a better chance of working. I guess I could double and bid 5♥, but I think that's a big overbid despite my supply of hcp.

I would much rather bid 4NT (natural) than 4H, the only question is whether I feel I am too good for that.

Why? Surely 4H makes far more often than 4N. Do you expect to get to slam significantly more often after a 4N overcall that you feel it's worth the times you go down in 4N cold for 4H?

Also how can you be too good for 4N? Are you seriously going to drive to 5H or 4N with this (8 winner) hand?

I'm just not seeing it.

4♥. I was thinking of doubling and then 6NT over 4♠ but that's just like bidding 6NT right away. Besides, openener is missing the 2 top honours in his suit, he should have some values in spades, I guess.

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