1S-2D;
2H-3C;
3H-3S;
4S-?
Are you worth another bid here? If so, what?
If 4N RKC, partner shows 1. If you ask for the queen, he has it.
Are you bidding the slam?

Do you have enough (cojones)?

This looks like a misfit. I think I would have stopped in 3NT instead of supporting spades.

Agree with the bidding so far. 3N would be wrong when partner could be 6-5.
Now I pass. Just too much work to do in slam when partner can't show any life over 3♠.

Agree with both comments. 3S shows what you have. Opener can judge to play in 3N.
Also, partner's 4S shows he might have opened a weakish 5-5. So, i pass.

I have a good hand, but partner's 2nd, 3rd and 4th bids are about the worst possible ones. Hence I would give up at 4♠.

Btw, if you wanted to move over 4♠, you should bid 5♠, asking for good trumps. If partner has good trumps, you at least have a shot at making slam (and it may be good). If his trumps are bad, you want to stay far away from slam in 4S - but at least 5S will get you to stop there.

Pass. Not enough trumps to set up hearts with ruffs, and no good diamond fit.
I don't know how well I'd like my chances in 6S with a spade lead.
