I don't think partner should ever be 1345. If his clubs weren't good enough to open 1♣ he should bid 2NT, not 3♣.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

WTP pass, I cannot see how 5D can be better than 3Nt more than 50% of the times and i dont like my hand for slam I dont think its close.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Doesn't D:AKxxx + C:KQxxx put us on a SQ finesse for 6D?
Would partner get slam-uppity with HK added?
Now it's on only losing CA.
Do y'all not chase for 55% slams?

If partner has x Kx AKxxx KQxxx he would not bid 3NT
If partner has x xx AKxxx KQxxx slam needs the spade finesse plus clubs 3-2 (minus singleton ace of clubs)

I don't see any 55% slam opposite a 3NT bid.

*** He would 3H > 3D, and we're going up.

If partner has x xx AKxxx KQxxx slam needs the spade finesse plus clubs 3-2 (minus singleton ace of clubs)
*** Unless C:K*9*xxx, now on a S-finesse?

I don't see any 55% slam opposite a 3NT bid.
*** Trying ain't the same as bidding a 55% slam.
Here 5D rates to be reasonable (maybe better than 3Nt),
so the try is quittable at a good 5D contract.
