this looks much like another hand

partner made a forcing pass (and he did not make a penalty double). I'm driving to slam and 5♠ is probably exclusion keycard so I will bid that. if I don't know what 5♠ is/I think partner will not understand, I can bid 5♦, showing a good suit in addition to my spade shortness.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I would agree with 3 ♠ if this shows a strong 4 card raise with spade shortage.

Now I try 5 ♠.

2♠ was forcing 3♠ was a splinter 4♠ should be exclusion?

yes it would, but our trumps are not good enough to drive to the 5 level at first, once partner made a forcing pass forcing to slam is a small overbid, but best way to find grand.

I'm not very experienced with excl blackwood, so I am wondering how much you have learned if P shows only one kc. Do you just bid 6♥ and hope the trumps are good enough? What would 6 ♦ show over 1 kc? Also, what is the worst hand P should hold for his forcing pass over 4♠?

thx, trying to get better at these high level competitive auctions. :lol:

3♠ sets up the forcing.

Because we splintered? And for good measure they are both passed hands, but that doesn't really matter...since we splintered!

I would have bid 5♣ but I suppose 5♠ is better assuming that it is exclusion RKC.
