No one (other than me) has voted for my choice... 7.

 

I don't see how 6 is going to be much help to partner. He already knows about your four card heart support, he refused to use 5 exclusion blackwood, or regular blackwood, or to bid a forcing (after your leap) 5 or 5. He leaped to slam in clubs without support of clubs but with humungo suport in hearts, but he only bidding 1 (not 2) over the redouble, and he bid this slam missing 3 aces. And, EAST had enough something to make a takeout double to boot.

 

I am sorry, I can find only one hand type for this...Absolutely solid clubs, probably eight long, and king fourth in hearts. East will be caught in the grips of a three suit squeze or simple diamond-heart squeeze (if partner has a stiff spade and diamond void... I think the hands are something like this.....

[hv=n=saxxxhatxxdaqxxcx&w=skqjxhqjxxdkxxxcx&e=sxxxxhxdjxxxxcxxx&s=sxhkxxxdcakqjt9xx]399|300|Really, truthfully, does anything else make anysense? With spade void, partner would bid 5, exclusion. Maybe partner has seven clubs, two small spades, and four hearts QJxx without 98 so WEST hearts are K987...7C is still same heart-diamond squeeze.

[/hv]

 

Or partner may have 7 solid clubs wiht KJxx of hearts (missing Q987---which is with the takeout doubler-plus two spades). No, the only bid that makes any sense to me at all (assuming partner is not a total wack job) is 7 clubs.

Nice Ben, but on the hand you posted 7NT is as good as 7 :blink:.

 

Anyway congrats, you are very close to wha thappened, should I have stated we don´t play exclusion blackwood?, ehre the complete hand:

7 unluckylly is the only contract you won´t make, but 6 will make more points than 6 wich was my losing option :-/.
