I'd bid 6C, maybe partner has something like x AQx AKxxxx KQx. If partner pulls to 6D or 6NT I will pass.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Fast shows a stopper? Why would you bid notrump at all without a stopper?

Anyway 1 doesn't matter since 2 is obviously 6♣.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

6♣. I have a 5-card suit I haven't shown yet!

Partial credit since I didn't answer 1.

Edit: slow pony is slow.
OK

Heh. I agree. So maybe I should clarify. We play that all bad varieties of the same hand go through 2NT. So 3NT shows something "better" than 2NT then 3NT.

My example hand for partner is ♠-♥AQ10x ♦AKxxxx ♣K10x

heck maybe this is very weak for the action so far, he should have sometihng more like ♥K instead of queen, or ♦J10 or ♣Q.

I don't have the guts for bidding 7 sorry.

I thought partner might have bid 5H with 4 of them.

1. I think he's singleton/void in ♠ and has the 3 other suits in a 5431/6331/5440/6430 distribution.

2. is definitely 6♣. Partner asks to bid a slam in a suit where we have something, ♣ it is.
