If that's the worst slam you ever have been my congratulations
(admittedly 6NT is a nice contract)

Dunno how to get to 6N. 6H is around 50/50 so whatever.

Pity you didn't post in A&E.

IC -4H

... to 6H looks inevitable to me.

1C 1H
2D 2S(gf, 5+ H)
3C 3H
3N 5H(long but broken H, slam invitation.)
6C pass.
6NT is hard to bid though.

There's a case for the auction going:

1♣-1♥
2♦-3♥
4♣-4♥
5♦-5♠
6♣-p

I don't see why South should be so eager to raise hearts on a stiff Q here when he knows slam is a good possibility and North could have a variety of heart suits where there are two losers some significant % of the time.

And if his 9 or T of hearts was the jack north should pull?
