Yes there could be a trump loser, but partner could just as well have 4 trumps making grand almost cold.

Or pd may be 3253 which gives a little more edge. But i am sure in junior EC this shows 4 trumps. With 3 they can bid either 2NT then 4♠ or 2nd negative over3♠ and then 4♠ etc.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

7c so I will bid 7c and give p a choice. I realize this makes the defense
easier when p prefers spades (and has only 3) but overall I prefer to
be in the safest spot at the 7 level.

What about 5N pick-a-slam? Would 6H from partner show 5 hearts, in which case 7H is probably the best grand?

I admire the inventiveness of the jump to 7C, but I think "everybody" is just bidding 7S.

I think its a normal agreement to have that when you denied AK and singleton you play your usual methods but for QJ/doubleton.
This is the simpler way I know to handle AKxx,AKx,Axx (and sometimes Axxxx) with no other losers elsewhere.
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."

That is one possible agreement. A more logical one would be for 4NT to be asking for the trump queen; 5♣♦♥ to be SSAs; and 5♠ to be asking for the trump jack. Yet another option would be as above except that 5♣ asks for specific queens and 5NT becomes the SSA in clubs. Perhaps the best option is for 5♣ to be a specific queen ask; 5♠ to be the club SSA; and 5NT to ask for the trump jack though. I think any method that does not include 4NT as an ask for the trump queen is being blinkered by the hand we are looking at.

Really fine effort to go off in 7♠ in the youngsters.

Good post and a very sensible answer.

But thinking more about it, I just bid 7♠:
- Partner might think I have longer clubs than spades if I bid 7♣.
- With 4-4 in the blacks he might think that clubs play better.
- In the spade grand, if partner has Jxx of spades plus a red queen, I can survive a 4-1 clubs split.
- If partner corrects to 7♠ (which he most likely does), my 7♣ bid has deterred a club lead. I don't want to do that.
- If both grands make, it probably costs two IMPs to play 7♣.
