You doubled to show a strong hand with ♠s right? So what's the problem? Show your ♠s...

Does 4♥ show 5+ ♥ or 4+♥?
If you don't have an agreement or if it shows 4+ ♥, you should bid 4♠. From what you write it is stronger than direct 3♠ and 4♠, it must be forcing.
If it promisses 5+ cards a scientific approach towards a ♥ slam seems appropriate.

Hi,
4NT, showing the fit, asking for KQ in hearts,
if partner denies holding akey card and the
queen of hearts, I will stop in 5H.
The main problem will be, that the danger of
a diamond ruff is fairly high, and that trumps
maybe 4-2 or 4-1.
With kind regards
Marlowe

Hi,
what do you think partner will bid
with 5 hearts, a single spade ...
with lots of hands, where 6H is cold,
he will pass.
With kind regards

PS: I would have bid 4S direct,but having
decided that my hand is more powerful, I am not
going to change my opinion in the middle of
the race.

It wasn't MY choice to double (I disagree to double here btw), but it's clear the one that doubled wanted to show this kind of hand: (very) strong with lots of ♠s. He should've forseen any problems by partner having 5 or more ♥ and bidding at the 4-level immediatly before taking out that red card, not after...

Partner shows you an 8+ heart fit, change gears.

- Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

makes sense to me
and by doubling first, wouldn't that imply heart tolerance?

i don't think it necessarily would... by doubling and then bidding spades over partner's heart bid, it could just show a very strong hand with spades.. it *could* imply hearts also, but i think by bidding spades here it puts partner under a lot of pressure - especially with an 8 card or better heart fit known(?) to exist

I'm willing to key card here, but I am deathly afraid of a diamond ruff in 6H.
OTOH I am concerned spades aren't running in 6N, so whatever I do will probably be a guess assuming we have sufficient key cards.

Dealer opens 3D,you decide you are too good to bid 4S opposite a non passed partner.so you double. Partner bids 4H passed back to you. What do you now bid?
