1. First of all, agree with the bidding (you had 4♦ as a splinter available) so far?

2. Assuming you do, what do you do here? Follow-ups below.

3a Pass: (P)-5♠-(6♦)-??
3b 5♠: (P)-6♣-(6♦)-??
3c Double: ends the auction

I bid 5♠ with my extra shape and partner's sure short clubs. After P 6♣ 6♦ I think I have a forcing pass, pulling a double to 6♥ as my strongest try for a grand.

Edit: Sorry I change to 6♠ for my second bid. I forgot partner didn't accept a limit raise already lol. No way is he something like AKxxx Kxx xxxx A (and with the bad breaks why would I want to be in a grand anyway opposite a hand like that?) Frankly the auction makes no sense at all. Partner rejected a limit raise, I simply bid game, then partner made a grand slam try?

Opponents (and partner?) being BBO randoms, it is in in serious doubt whether they have what they promise. Or that I can divine which one of them doesn't have what they promise. Impossible problem. However, trusting partner, I think we have slam and that FP applies here because partner showed he had better than limit raise when he bid 4S over 4D. So I'm passing then pulling to six.

5♠, then 6♠. I expect pard to have something like 5413 or 5323, so even if he has ♣AKQ, I might not have enough discards. 6 should be the limit.

Random partner. And you think 6 ♣ is a grand slam try?
I don't. I cannot read anything in partners bids nor in the bids from my opponents. 5 ♠ is clear and now I try X. I have my tricks in their suit not in mine. No good news for declaring.

5♠ and X and I am very happy with where I am now. If partner doesn't like it, I will boot him.
