Help
6c I guess pard's hand is:
xx...JT95...x......Axxxxx
she cant only have 5 clubs.
In any event I opened 1d not 1c with this shape.
or mexican 2d if that is an option in advanced.
Pass or go on? What would you do?

Of course, you go on. Partner clearly has very good trumps and probably shortness somewhere.
I would want to be in at least 6C but 7C is not out of the question.
I would bid 5H to show the heart king and clear intent to go further than 6C.
Also, this should promise first round controls in spades and diamonds.
Partner should have all the information he needs to bid a grand if he has the right hand such as:
S x H AQxx D xx C Axxxxx.

S x H AQxx D xx C Axxxxx.

Um, down here on planet Earth x AQxx xx Axxxxx would not have bid 5♣ last round.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Lead was a spade and that's the right line. Another problem of the hand is that declarer claimed upon winning the first trick and both defenders accepted: Clubs were 1-3 and Diamonds 5-1, so declarer had to play one round of trumps, trump a heart, enter dummy with the ♦K, ruff the last heart and then lead his remaining trump.

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

I would definitely go on, and I would've opened 2NT, this hand is worth more than 19 points...

easy 6c imo. it can't be worse than a heart hook through the overcaller. ac qh makes 6 cold.
just seen partner's hand - obviously absurd

How do you propose slam to be reached? Or would you prefer to stop in 3NT?

Why is it obvious 4C is not Gerber?

Umm, that's a bad word, especially in the A/E forum. Anyway, since you asked - How else can you set clubs?! lol
