5♠ signoff if you have 0

6♠ will show 3
I don't think we are in any Grand Slam Force but the experts might disagree


Fair enough, although IMO the risk of West not reasoning and passing is greater than the risk that he forced to game in misfit with 9 HCP and a singleton in clubs.

Pass !
If we should be in 7 we will have great hand to discuss after the game.

So how does West manage to open without any Aces and surely 5♥ not 5♦?

I opened...East.
West "must" have 3 Aces for the 2/1, but they still have a bid, why would I bid 6?

Hearts have not been mentioned, let alone 5 of them.

This is getting out of sync,,, yes 6nt

ah WasWinM's hand threw me, but 6N looks fine after the cue-bids with West not having a ♥ ctrl, but 3 Aces.
