Partner is a sponsor who is going to pass for the rest of the auction and whose pass over 5♠ means nothing at all.

I'd emigrate.
... 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

Not everyone has a passport where one's Queen asks for one's passage through a country.

I'd double. And double 6♠, too.

I am also leading the A of H but I am not doubling.

The hand can be played here:

There should be an article in the end, on an orange box, explaining my reasonings, which might be flawed.

Nobody is finding the killing lead, so I am wondering if I was lucky than good.

My reasoning was this:

-partner has a card for his 2♥ bid.
-If it is cashing it will be an ace most of the time
-If its an ace there is no hurry to advance the hearts
-Leading ♥A kills all our chances when they are void.
-Leading a club sets up a trick in either clubs of hearts awaiting for partner to take the lead.

Is my reasoning flawed?
