Pass, 5D or 4N intending to show a good 5D bid? If you pass, what are you leading?

5d. this isn't a good 5D bid - the ace of hearts is most likely toilet paper.

When will partner double here with a void? 5035? It feels like most hands with a void are bidding, not doubling.

yes 5035 seems like a distinct possibility. opps are vul against not: i'm quite happy to believe them unless partner's bidding doesn't make sense.

obv from your reply i'm wrong though and p doesn't have a void and they don't have 10 trumps.

I dont see any reason why the hearts are not 4-5.

I'll bid 5D. Mostly because I have no idea what to do and this looks safe/cheap/could be right anyway.

Axx in hearts means I will declare, 5 diamonds or 4NT both look reasonable. I go for 4NT, 10 red cards its a lot.
