Firstly K♥ is wasted, you can make the slam without it.
1♦-(2♥)-4♣ fit makes it easy
That's what happened.
I think I should now bid 4
♥, agreeing
♣ and showing a control.
Partner now knows that his K
♥ is working and we have a double fit. I don't yet know we have a double fit - though if he doesn't have
♦ for his free bid of 4
♣, then he must have a shed load of
♣ !
Either way, I think that 4
♥ is the best move forward. Not knowing that
♠ are safe, I would now expect partner to bid 5
♦,
confirming the double fit, when I can bid either slam - though the possible 4/4 in
♣ makes it slightly better, I think, using the long
♦ for a potential discard.
Whatever you feel about my 4
♥ bid, I made the worst possible bid of 5
♣
Thanks for the replies.
