I think 2S is clear - hiding 6 card majors is rarely a good idea. If you bid 2C, pass, 1D, or 1H by responder could land you in the wrong contract

Thanks everyone. I just totally misssed the spade inference of partner's 4D (to be fair I'm not sure she really knew either!). One further question - if 4D shows a spade stopper but says nothing about diamonds, do I need to announce this before the openning lead? If I missed the inference, perhaps a defender might as well. Thanks again. Brian

My partner dealt and had Kx Jxxx AKxxx A10 while I had Qxx AKxxxx x KJx. The bidding went (opps silent) 1D-1H 3H-4C 4D-4H P I was worried that we were off the AK of spades, so I thought my cuebid sequence showed my "problem". My partner passed because she had a minimum for her 3H bid and because the lead was coming through her Kx of spades. Should she bid 4S anyway? Should I bid 5H instead of 4H to show my extras? Is there something else I'm missing?
