Anything which shows interest in a ♣ slam now. I think grand has some chances, so why just settle for small? Since it's crossimps I might even go for 6NT or 7NT to pick up some small extra's

4N to play doesnt make much sense to me. Why didn't I bid 3 or 4N the round before?

It is close between taking control via 4N (keycard) or cuebidding 4♦, intending to bid 5♥ over 4♠ and 6♣ over 5♣.
I prefer the latter approach because I expect that partner will be better positioned to make the small/grand decision after the cuebid approach than I will be after a keycard ask.
For those who like 4♦ as keycard, how do you bid with x QJxxx AKQx Axx?
Do you want to play 6♣ opposite AKQJx xx x KQJxx? You might well make it, but do you want to be there?

Yes, I bid 4d rkc and end up in 6clubs....not down yet.

Agree with Justin. Why would I bid 3D (4th suit) if I want to play 3N? 4D as RCK? what if I want to show 6-5 or even 6-6 (or 7-6)?
