your spade void means p has a whole TON of spades
over there as well as almost all of your sides
clubs. Your suits are not independent enough to
keep any decision you make from being a massacre
(think custers last stand). I may be a big
chicken but I would

pass

and hope the opps have misguessed where they belong
after all im not really SURE I can beat 6c am I?

If I bid 5♥ and they get to 6♣ wouldn't double ask for a 'creative' lead? I think I won't pass here, 5♥.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

You weren't the only one with a problem on this hand! I've already put a poll on the "interesting hands" forum asking about your action when partner overcalls 1♠ over 1♣, but RHO still jumps to 5♣.

5♥ for me.

Partner couldnt act over 1♣ holding 6+♠? This means he is either broke, which means 5♣ make easily or he doesnt have any points in ♠, good news. Besides I dont see them bidding 6♣, even if it is right. Even if p is broke we migth escape for -1 or -2 if he has some useful spot or lenght on my suits, so I would gamble and bid it.

I wouldn't be able to resist bidding 5♥.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I need more to force to the 6 level, so 5♥ it is by now.

Good news. Partner has H-A10x and D-Kx. He bids 6H.
After all, no double, but 5H instead is not interested
in spades thus H+D.

This conclusion seems unsound. 5♥ would be a sensible call with 2911 shape, wouldn't it?

WTP 5H
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Ok 5♥ is a good option, but that its a WTP; hardly. Prd has TON of ♠ and still did not act over 1♣ so theres not much help coming from there.
5♣ bidder has also a distributional hand with one or two short red suits, so there may be suprisingly many losers in our game and yes it will be doubled.
But hey everybody else is going to bid 5♥, so i may just join the band :D .

mich-b,

Good 'gotcha'! That's a 0.0016% rebuff.
