Pass. Partner's double says he thinks we might have a game bonus to protect, but that doesn't mean we can make slam. AKxx AQxx x KQxx is easily enough for the second double.
Edit: it's surprising to be so short in the majors, but maybe partner has heart length and was too strong to overcall. That's another reason not to bid 6♣.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I got good chances at 2 defensive tricks and no guarantee whatsoever that 6C makes. Seems like a clear pass.

Easy pass. If we miss slam, so be it... I'll just take my sure plus, thank you

I upvoted Andy's post. Bidding is chasing moonbeams....and learning that 6♣ would have worked (if it did) wouldn't change my mind....pass has to be the percentage action.

Three tricks are surely easier than twelve.
