When I have 6-5 and partner supports my 6 card suit, I will just bid on and on. 5♠
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Easy double IMO. Where are their tricks coming from? Where are our tricks coming from in spades? Partner most likely has only 3-card support.

well far from sure I have 11 tricks in ♠ fairly sure they don't have 11 so I will defend without Xing.

I'd DBL Hanoi. I have a ♦ trick or two, short in pd's suit which makes his hand good in defense too besides the fact that my ♠ are awful. (Pd would probably leap to 4♠ with 4 of them)

Double. Too bad trumps to bid 5♠, and the hand is misfit'ish with strong diamonds but short clubs.

Close between double and pass, depending on my style of overcalls. Bidding on seems somewhat over-aggressive, where am I planning to get 11 tricks from in my 6-3 fit with no side suit fit?

The vulnerability can be seen in the presentation of the problem (all white). It was MP's and they were going down. 5♠ also went down when trumps were A-QTx.

I whip. I don't think it's all that close. Just because it's a crazy hand doesn't mean I have to be.
