Raise partner or bid S?

It's easier to shut out opps by bidding 4 than 4, since you hide your fit with partner. And I think 4 often plays as good as or better than 4. (With bad splits it's most probably worse, but still it might shut out opps.)

I want to play this hand in spades a lot of the time, and shutting out the opponents is not the priority on these cards. So I bid 1.

 

It doesn't take too much to produce a slam - Ax AKxxxx xxx Ax will produce 13 tricks on 2-1 hearts.

I did bid 1 ans auction continued:

1-(P)-1-(2)

P-(5)-5-(6)

DBL-All Pass

 

6x made and I'm know convinced that my 1 bid was an error.

But I still wonder if 4 or 4 will generally play best.

I wonder if you had passed 5D if that is where the hand would have been played?

 

I am in the camp of taking a postion with this hand, either 4H or 4S but having done that I also believe this is a 1-bid hand unless something extrodinary occurs in the auction to affect my decision (such as after I bid 4S partner continues with 5H over their 5D.)

 

I chose to play in the known fit and would bid 4H, planning on that being my one and only bid on the hand.
