Partner opens vs your 2 loser hand... what a dream!

♠Jx
♥-
♦AKQJ10xxx
♣AKQ

My partner opens 1♥ after a pass from the dealer. I said 4NT (is there a response I cant handle???) Partner responds 5♥, I promptly bid 7NT. Any complaints with the auction?

(Of course 7NT is cold no matter what P drops as they promised 2 Aces since we were playing regular blackwood not RKCB)

"(is there a response I cant handle???)

Yes, what about 5D? Partner may hold
Qxxx
AKQxx
xx
xx
or similar.
Or
KQxx
AKxxx
xx
xx
How do you know the difference?

By a response I cant handle I meant one that would get me in trouble not being able to make my contract.

What contract are you going to choose if partner responds 5♦?

Probably no right siding it if they lead a minor suit card :huh:
Ouch pitching AKQ♥ in dummy to come down to JX vs KX♠
Now thats a night mare though you could just do it early on

Yes, you can't handle a response of 1 keycard because you don't know which one partner holds.

I'd just start with 2♦, bid 4♦ next (which is setting trumps for us) after which we'll start a cuebidding auction and I'll know if we can play 5♦, 6♦/NT or 7NT.
