Slam missing 2 aces

I would bid 4C NLM or double with east hand but 4H is forced if partner frequently pass 3 level take-out X. After 4S i slighty prefer X to 5H. Partner is probably S void and will pull with super shape or they are in 7-2 FIT.

 

6H is terrible, partner could have bid 5m en passant to show a good 5H raise.

6 seems to be too wild a gamble. Partner had available 4NT T/O followed by 5 to show a good 5.

Actually, being a passed hand, wouldnt also 5 and 5 show heart support?

Yes I agree (although I'm generally cautious of that principle, since I often hold a suit worth showing later but not adequate for a preempt. Some of us do have standards, Ole :)).

 

5m would not be a slam try as such, as I see it, more like a raise with a good suit on the side.
