The 6♣ bid was actually never bid, but it will not let me show 5♣...the player made an insufficient bid after our ace reply. This hand is one that I honestly have no idea how to show, but I took a shot and made.

How will you handle this at MPs or teams?...and I will take the insufficient bid to the simple rulings forum for those interested.

5N GSF over 4♣ then bid 7♠ when partner shows the A♦ ?

[Lord Molyb]

I would draw trumps (assuming not 5-0, then contract is impossible) then cash three top hearts and the king of diamonds.
Most likely RHO is something like 1-2-2-8 or 1-3-1-8 or 2-2-1-8. If he follows to 4 or 5 major suit cards then I finesse the diamonds but if he follows to only three I might play for the drop. Even if diamonds break 4-0, I can discard two hearts on the two minor suit aces if LHO has the diamonds.
He should have at least 8 clubs because LHO did not raise.

I would win ♣A, this puts west into a show up squeeze if he has 4+♥ and 2+♦. Remember to thank east for pointing out the bst lead for our side.

Also important, keep ♥10x in dummy, ♥J can be singleton.

Also bid 7NT, the day you find spades 5-1 and 13 tricks on the side you will cry.

Think he is talking about partner holding a singleton rather than xx.
