What makes ♣ worth showing- its not a great shape to give an option on contract

On the third one? Ax AKxx Axxx KQx or Axx AKxxx Ax KQx would make them worth showing, wouldn't it? Showing clubs doesn't compel you to play in the suit.

Furthermore, if partner had AKQx AKQx Axx xx, he might want to know that his hand wasn't quite as good as it looks.

maybe with singleton ace  and those clubs then it maybe  a decent alternative.

If I had five clubs and a singleton ace, I'd also have a second suit, so I'd show both suits.

... 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

Guess i should reveal what happened...

board 1, i doubled and conceeded 3♥x tick, lesson learnt...
board 2, i doubled and collected 300 - accept this wasn't a great action but p saved me with more defence than he might have had...
board 3, I had AKQ Axxx AJTx KJ so accepted p's invite, they didn't lead a ♥ so it rolled home - if my hand can be this good and it still be "no play" (much more likely to go off at imps as the opening leader would have probably lead away from his KJT9♥?) should we be just inviting or even not inviting unless you have methods to show the exact hand type?

Maybe that is why 6NT made.
