6♥. Probably better than 5♠, which could get us to 6♦, which might go down on a heart ruff.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

As your partner, I will appreciate the 6H bid ---whether successful or not. Much better than torturing me with other actions which I will not understand.

It also has the big advantage that if partner is looking at ♥AK he might well bid 7. You've got a very good hand if you bid 6♥ missing these and can hardly be missing another first round control.

Good, I wasn't crazy in bidding slam off AK trumps...

After 6H, partner converted to 6NT holding

AK
Ax
Qx

7C is cold with the K♥ in the slot, but hard to find

To be honest when i looked at the hand i bid 5♠. But reading the Cyber's and Hanoi's reasons to bid 6♥, i admit i like 6♥ more.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

I was also a 5S bidder, to be followed by 6H over partner's 6C. Unlike you I am still not 100% convinced this is not as good a description of the hand as a direct 6H.
