4C. I hate 4m, but 5 seems too much. If we can make it I hope pd will bid it.

5 clubs, but really object, I would have bid 2clubs over 1H opening. Partner will never play me for this hand now.

I'll bid 5 because I have no bid to ask partner if he has a stiff heart or a doubleton heart :)

I also would have overcalled 2C only at these colors but I certainly understand not doing so.

:wacko: 4♥. This may be off base, but by my lights, I am looking at a 'high card heavy' 5♣ bid. So, a cue bid on the way to 5♣ seems properly descriptive. With any kind of casual partnership, I would bid 5♣ to avoid the prospect of a misunderstanding.

I would have overcalled 2C. Now I bid 4H, planning to correct pd's 4S to 5C.
