location BBO -MBC
your partner is a fairly regular partner of yours on BBO, skill level from adv to expurt, depending on opinion and how much sleep he/she's gotten .
the vulnerability really doesn't matter (which means that I forget)
I am only giving the bidding, not the hands. What is partner doing? what is partner looking for? Any idea what Partner hand is?
Partner: 1♣, You: 1♠
Partner: 2♦, You: 2♠
Partner: 3♠, You: 3NT
Partner: 4♦, You: 4♠
Partner: 5♥ !!!!!
What is partner doing, what is partner looking for, any idea what partner's hand is? (Hint: Partner is not 4-suited)
BTW: There were no conventional bids in this auction with the possible exception of your 2 spade rebid meaning only that you had 5+ spades.

1) First off I also play 3s here as nonforcing. 3h here would be 4sf and artificial.
2) 2s for me shows 5+s and max of 9hcp, it is one round forcing but not forcing to game.
3) 3nt I would take as a mild slam try in spades, very often denying a club cuebid.
4) 4d cue denies club cue.
5) 4s sign off
6) 5h seems a bit much....I just rebid 5s i guess.
