♠A4
♥xx
♦Q
♣AKJxxxxx

♠Txx
♥AKQTx
♦Jxx
♣Qx

At favorable it went :

5♣-All pass

At another table :

1♣-1♠-2♥-2♠
3♣-3♠-4♥! Which led to six hearts, down some when hearts were 5-1.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I don't like the 4♥ bid. I prefer a cooperative double of 3♠. Nevertheless, opener should rebid 5♣. With 4 cover cards including the ♣Q, south can raise to 6. I would not fault a 6♣ rebid by opener.

Is it too crazy to raise to 6 the 5♣ opening?

Yes, because opener is about two tricks heavy for his 5C opening. If my partner opens 5C favorable I expect about xx xx x KQxxxxxx.

I will run away now before I mention anybody having a systemic agreement to show a 9-trick preempt by opening 2C then jumping to 4 of their suit.
