I need to tell my partner about my strength and the ♦ and ♣ length. Bridge is a team game and partner needs information for his actions. We have chances to reach and make a minor suit slam, if we have a fit.
It would be great to have a bit to show both minors, if none is available 4♦ followed by 5♣ should show our distribution and some strength.

4♦ then Pass. Someone once said something about negative doubles on 11 cards in two suits, I believe his last name was LOL or Logic. :)

4D followed by 5C over 4H if partner bids that.

4♦ and then pass. Sometimes preempts win. But i think we are in good shape if pd bidding 4♥

X and pass. I think X is much superior to 4♦, since it caters to clubs and 3NT also. If partner bids 3NT I'm happy with my stiff ♠K.

partner can't have 3 diamonds or clubs to go with his 6/7 hearts?

I bid 4D, then 5C over 4H. We certainly can have a laydown slam in either minor here.

I would double and pass. Double seems like the most flexible first action, catering to finding 3NT or playing 3SX when it's right. I'm not so worried about missing slam here - this hand really isn't that good so it seems like 4♥ is likely to be the right game if partner bids that.

Certainly? We can't be off two black aces?
