Looking at both hands, do you want to be in 6♦?

After the 3♦ bid, do you consider 4♦ better than 5♦, or is it an invite? If it is an invite, how do we show a hand interested in slam with ♦s

I think the hands must be reversed (or the bidding).

If hearts are 4-3 or 5-2 with the doubleton queen dropping, we can just ruff two hearts in dummy and lose only a spade. That's about 70%, I think?

I've been in much worse on a nearly daily basis.

South showed confidence In North's bidding and both can shrug and say unlucky if it doesn't fetch.

Slam is excellent, you pretty much just need trumps not to be 4-0. Say you get a spade lead. You win the ace, ace of hearts, ruff a heart, club to the ace, ruff a heart, club ruff, heart ruff(if someone started with Qxxxx), cash the ace of trumps, ruff a club, draw trumps and claim 12 tricks.

1. I want to be in 6, Wayns line looks good.
2. 4 ♦ is of course stronger then 5 ♦.
Kind Regards
