From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

It depends a bit on your agreements. If 3♦ is a daisy-picking bid with, say,
x
AKQxxx
Kxxx
xx
then it's beter to pass. However, if pard is more likely to have
x
AKQxxx
KQxx
xx
Then I suppose you could move on.

Go on? Where?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

No I don't move on, and I don't bid 3♣ with this. While I expect pard is 6-4 or 6-5, I need pard to cover all of his red suit losers except two and I think partner would have made more noise if that were the case.

I don't like the 3C rebid. Maybe in your system there was no other choice. Does your partner agree this hand qualifies as a 3C rebid?
Anyway, assuming 3C was indeed light on promised values, I pass now. Need very specific cards from responder for slam to have a chance and also, if partner was serious and not just curious about slam, he would have bid something other than 4H.

I don't go on and I also hate the 3C bid. Is this part of your system or did you just overbid?

Ive bid 6H. maybe 4Nt or 5H is better but passing never crossed my mind.
Partner hand is
x
AQxxxxx
KQTx
K
If i bid just 5H he might pass afraid that i have a blank stiff H.
Partner took the "advanced cue bid" (even if you dont play those) road to 4H so hes showing a stronger hand than
4H directly
3H followed by 4H
3H followed by a 4D cue.
he doesnt have a pure 2 suiter (he would comeback at 4D) so hes should be showing a suit playable facing a void and extra slam potential.
Partner 3D bid with a crappy suit suit is dangerous (i prefer 3H) but if he bid 3H and I raise to 4 hell be a bit endplayed to RKC with only 1 keycard.
PS, 3C was showing a Q extra. Maybe its a small overbid but i dont think so. Rebidding 2S with 60% of the hands isnt my style.

and, after all that beautiful back-and-forth partnership bidding to the perfect spot, the hearts broke 4 1, right? king ten fourth on or off side
