EW How to bid the best contract?

If the opps are remaining silent then 2♣X looks quite good to me. Alternatively,

 

1♣ - (2♣) - 2♠;

3♦ - 4♦;

4♠ - 4NT;

5NT - 7♣

 

would get it done. Am sure someone can find a more scientific auction.

I like double; I'd rather have 4 pieces than AKx, but sometimes it's right to be greedy. Partner will pull 2♠ by north, and then I can show my clubs (or just keep cuebidding and pulling 3NT until partner gets the joke).

 

If I don't double - and maybe "partner might have clubs" is enough for me to not - then 2♥ "INV+ club raise". Partner will be able to keycard our way to the grand, assuming we don't get a game bid by north right away.

easiest way:

 

2♥ (cuebid, showing stopper in hearts)

3♠ splinter

 

you can imagine the rest.

 

 

But as mycroft says it is quite normal to start with a double and try penalties, then it gets more complicated.
