That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

1. Surprised at 5N's on the first. I think its speculative partner has solid minors and the spade void. Settling for 5♣.

2. 5♥.

If partner has solid minors and a spade void it'll make 7 so you don't need all of that

:P Chicken on the first one, 5♣. Second one is imo, an easy 5♥. I pard has a stiff ♠, they have 11 of them, and bidding on is right. If he has two or three ♠, he has half the deck in high cards. Either way, bid on.

1. 5♣. Too many holes in the minors, with finesses rating to fail, and a likely spade loser.

2. If dbl = cards, pass. If dbl = take out, 5♣. Seems simple: just do what pard asks you to :P

I'm inclined to pass both. Maybe shooting at too small a target

On 2nd hand, why a negX with 6xH??
I want partner to know H-xxx H-Kx is a raise.
Probably solves this problem previously.

:) Chicken on the first one, 5♣.

Partner bid 4N at unfavorable and surely with our heart holding he's got both minors (even assuming you play this as any 2-suited takeout). Any hearts he has are losers, and as are any spades besides the ace. In short, I expect my partner will have no more than 1 spade and very likely more than just 5/5 shape.

I was originally going to bid 6♣, but I think 5N is better in case partner is 1165.
