West bids ♣s at the lowest level over whatever you open.

2 ♣ 2 ♦
2 ♥ 4 ♥
pass
Acol two in Heart, enough for game, no slam.
+ 680? Fine, but I won´t reach the slam.

no expert here but with 3 losers why not just bid game forcing bid "2 diamonds" or is that a bit to obvious, I must be missing a brain cell here
2D 3C 3D P 3H p 4H p *then what ever you decide to do after that will get you to 5 level or poss slam I am not sure 4HCP from pard is enough to bid anything other than cheapest Heart next

Um, why is this a great slam to be in anyway? You have one sure loser in clubs and need to pick up hearts for no losers, and ruff a losing club. So, even if you can pick up the hearts when they are 3-1 with the stiff honor offsides, if the person who wins the losing club has a third heart, you would be down. I guess you are OK if you duck a club first provided a trump is not led. But its not like this is a good slam to be in.
