What do you bid?
Is slam still a (remote) possibility?
If not, what bid/bidding plan is best?

I start with double. Just showing extra values. I'll see what partner does, if partner bids 3C or 3D, then slam is still a possibility, but over most other bids I would get out in game.

Double. Any # of NT is premature.

hate double - you try getting partner to play in anything other than 4♥ now.
i'd bid 3♣ - ok it's normally a 5 card suit but we've got half the deck to compensate.

Slam is obviously a possibility. Partner needs about a 10-count and a fit. Any two Aces, the diamond Queen, and either minor fit.
Finding it is the trick.

DBL or 3 ♣. DBL is better imo.

My bid was dbl at the table.
Part bid 4♥ (Comments on partner bids are wlc, he thinks dbl should show ♥ tolerance : Hx)
What game would you rather have been in : 3NT, 4♥ or 5♦?
Those were the N/S hands : (I'll post E/W in a day or two)

I would have bid 3NT, but that is rushing things, so double is better. 4♥ is a great contract, I'd prefer partner to double with that hand instead of bidding 2♥, though.

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

These were the 4 hands :
I calculated (N/S hands) 4♥is about 65% while 3NT and 5♦ are about 50%.
Of course, as the cards layed, 3NT and 5♦ win, and 4♥ is down
