Link to hand

I probably overbid this, but I was hoping for a better hand for the 4H bid. Still, after I say I don't have 1st round control in clubs and North still cuebid 6H, East should work out that ace isn't cashing.

Is it really better for N to show 5 card H suit rather than C short on 1st rebid? Just asking. May be right.

I was trying to avoid that point, but when the suit is Axxxx I much prefer just showing the shortage myself.
By the way, how are you supposed to ask for the queen of trumps after a 5NT response? 6C would have been a cuebid.
