Scoring: IMP

1♥-(P)-??
You play 5c Majors. What do you bid now and what is your plan?
You can bid 1♠ forcing, 2 or 4♠ weak, 3 or 4♥ weak (and if you want: also 3♣ is fit with 6-9 pts )

4♥. I think it's gonna be kinda hard to bid this scientifically, so I prefer to shut opps out of a possible 5m sacrifice.

1♠ then 5♥ over a possible/probable 5m. 4♥ will make 5m from opponents easier not more difficult and then what ?

I did bid 1♠ ans auction continued:
1♥-(P)-1♠-(2♦)
P-(5♦)-5♥-(6♦)
DBL-All Pass
 
6♦x made and I'm know convinced that my 1♠ bid was an error.
But I still wonder if 4♥ or 4♠ will generally play best.

Can't leave 6D-X in with D-void, 4-fit, 7xS !?! Bid 6H.
Is there a fit-jump in spades to 1H? That is closer to getting partner on board to this monster distribution.

4♥. The harder it is for your opponents to communicate, the better off you are.

It's easier to shut out opps by bidding 4♠ than 4♥, since you hide your fit with partner. And I think 4♠ often plays as good as or better than 4♥. (With bad splits it's most probably worse, but still it might shut out opps.)
Kind regards,
Harald

I want to play this hand in spades a lot of the time, and shutting out the opponents is not the priority on these cards. So I bid 1♠.

It doesn't take too much to produce a slam - Ax AKxxxx xxx Ax will produce 13 tricks on 2-1 hearts.

4S. If they bid 5m, I'll bid 5H.

I wonder if you had passed 5D if that is where the hand would have been played?

I am in the camp of taking a postion with this hand, either 4H or 4S but having done that I also believe this is a 1-bid hand unless something extrodinary occurs in the auction to affect my decision (such as after I bid 4S partner continues with 5H over their 5D.)

I chose to play in the known fit and would bid 4H, planning on that being my one and only bid on the hand.

This thread slays me.

I have a monster side suit, a void, and great support for pard and I'm preempting? :P

1♠ for me.
