Well, if you’re playing strong nt, you have a balanced 15 count

2♠ spades and a minor , I'll post the full hand soon




South at the OT also opened 1nt, west showed spades and a lower , NS did not have a good auction, ending in 6Dx

6NT is a great contract, but at IMPs what's wrong with 6♣?

I would not open this 1NT.

How do we get to 6♣ after I open 1nt?

That's the point, by successfully concealing your six card suit, partner did not find out about your six card suit. Mission accomplished.

You may be able to get to 6♣ after opening 1♣, I doubt we club players would
1♣ (2♠) 3♠ (P)
3nt
With the QJT of clubs, you will be dragging me in the rest of the auction

1♣ (2♠) 3♦ (p)
3nt

1NT, then your auction.

And if North had less (and we a little more), we do still have ways of revealing our clubs (as 5+ within our Stayman or by bidding 5♣ over a quantitative 4NT).
