You are playing standard 2/1 with strong nt. You opponents are young people, but generally good and not crazy. Your call?

What specifically is 5♠. Just a huge spade raise? I can't believe it promises a void. Exclusion makes more sense TBH.

Partner's pass just says, "I have the ♠A". I guess I can barely construct an opener without the minor aces. I'm still bidding 7, which is what I might have done on the last round.

No discussion about either 5♠ or partner's pass of 6♠.

Double.

I think 5♠ could be just about any hand that expects to make 6♥. Maybe partner could bid grand himself with three aces after I do that that. He might be worried somewhat about his bad trumps, but would I bid this strongly off three aces and a high trump?

At the table we bid 7♥= for +2210, and lost imps since the other table was in 7♥X=. Partner's hand is 9 JT9xx AQJ9x AJ. The opponents could obviously make at least 7 tricks in their 12 card spades fit, and I think they might have been able to find an 8th.

I would probably bid 7♥ out of the gate and defend 7♠ doubled for a larger loss.
