I'm not sure why partner would think 5N would show more in spades when im asking him to pick a slam in a MINOR :) With spade support I would support (5H or something else).

Huh?

5N is pick-a-slam - not pick a 'minor' slam.

5N should promise at least secondary spade support...which I aint got. Are you really going to cue bid 5♥ on a 3=0=5=5?

umm yes...

How can pick a slam include spades, clubs, and diamonds?

Wow J you were quick here - got your comments in before I edited them. :P :)

I've never heard of pick-a-slam being restricted to 2 suits.

Go back to the discussion on the hand last week where we were discussing the action after a quantitative auction: 2♣ - 2♦ - 2N - 4N. 5N was clearly a type of pick-a-slam and it wasn't restricted to ANY of the 4 suits.

Apples and oranges.

1) there is a suit bid by the opps here, so obviously that is out.
2) partner bid a suit. We have a chance to show support for that suit. We do not. To me that ostensibly denies support for his suit. Of course I could correct whatever to 6S, offering a choice between S+NT. I could correct clubs to diamonds offering a choice between D and S. But for his purposes he will assume i have MINORS. how else would i bid with 6-7 in the minors and a slam going hand? what bid would I make? 5N would be my only choice.
