Even I wouldn't give partner space and bid 2♦

Prefer 4C the first time, set trump
Partner now can bid 4D KB
I can respond 5C, if all keycards then
Now 5D specific kings
5NT= KD, deny KH and KS

That's not how the auction went but funny you mention KB, my partner said we should be playing KB and there were a few hands tonight where it would have been useful.
Perhaps it's time to dust off my KB notes.

Kickback is one of the few conventions I refuse to play. I think it's not only bad, but also a trap that looks deceptively shiny.
4♠ over 3♥, showing a heart raise with spade control to go with my clubs. I'm always scared when partner opens 2♣ and I have this much - usually it means partner should have opened 1♥.

4♣ for me, it is too early to commit to playing in hearts with three small.
I like Kickback in my main partnership because we've spent the hours, days, months and years discussing when it applies. I would not play it with an expert partner without weeks of discussion.

Sorry, I should have mentioned, your partner is aggressive but you can expect 6 card heart suit and a 2♣ style opening here.
I don't know what I would bid over 4♠, I (west) would not recognize it was a heart raise. It is these types of auctions where if that had happened I would feel stuck for a bid and use an ill conceived keycard ask.

Paul, I remember a few disasters during my last foray into KB and how much discussion I should have had.
These TG's are a regular, fun event on BBO with local experts and wannabes. Discussion in allowed and would be a good place to dust off KB
David, I think a new thread on KB is on order.

Good grief if that is how the bidding is going
Feel as if I am in a disaster movie
Remember the Towering inferno?
Earthquake?
The Poseidan Adventure

The auction is just as thrilling.
