5♠ and then make a Lightner double of their slam.

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

5C. Followed by pass over their slam or 5S over their 5 level bid. This will ensure I get C lead. I don't care if 5C is passed out.

Number of geniuses per square foot is way too high in BBF

Yes I am finished. Hopefully 6♦ goes down on a club lead.

I am prepared to sacrifice all the way to 6s but I need to prepare us for a x if the
opps happen to bid 7d. That means this bid has to be
4h
No matter how the bidding proceeds from this point (unless opps stop in 6n) I should be
able to either bid 6s or get in my lightner x for the needed club lead against 7d. This is
important since waiting until the 7 level to use lightner risks a mistake. Those choosing to
bid 4c have the right idea but the concept of lighter is to primarily tell p what NOT to lead
and to hunt around for something diffenent. The main purpose being the something different
may be the only way to beat the opps slam. If we are going to defeat a slam on a normal
lead then passing is fine save the lightner for hands where you give your side the only chance
it may have to prevail. The 4c (like my 4h bid) are all too easily just a normal honor or natural
lead director and may be needed when the opps bid more. They can also be used (as in this case)
to set up a lightner x.

I would bid 4♣ and then take the push to 6♠. I know it might be wrong, but it is likely to be cheaper than game, so I want to avoid a big loss.
LHO's 6♦ is likely to be based on a spade void (no blackwood opposite an unlimited partner).
