Both sides vulnerable and in third seat you hold:
♠-QJ10xx, ♥-Axx, ♦-Ax, ♣-Axx.

Partner opens 1 NT (15-17) and you bid 2 ♥ (spade transfer)
Partner bids 2 ♠, you bid 1430 Blackwood, and partner answers 5 ♥ (two key cards without the queen).

If the scoring is IMP’s what’s your call?

If the scoring is MP’s, what’s your call?

Does it matter?

Make your call now.

Partner held: ♠-AKx, ♥-KQx, ♦-Qx, ♣-Kxxxx.

I BID 5NT WHICH ASKS FOR KINGS AND PROMICES WE HAVE ALL 5 KEY CARDS--PARTNER KNOWS I HAVE 3 ACES AND THE 5 CARD SUIT IN SPADES(COULD HAVE 6) CAN COUNT TRICKS--IF THEY HAVE A 5 CARD SUIT HEADED BY THE KING /QUEEN AND AND AN OUTSIDE KING YOU CAN COUNT 13--IF NOT ANSWER YOUR KINGS AND PARTNER WILL SIGN OFF @6SPADES--DON'T BE A PIG AND BID NT

I would have bid 6NT in either case. There are at least 8 HCP's missing, but not any AK. My play and discovery are not up to the task of discovering where the possible 2 missing K's are, and finagle the opps out of both of them. Maybe one, but not 2. Oink! (I didn't read John's comment ahead of time.)

iI BID 6 SPADES INSTEAD 6NT AS IF THE SUITS DONT BREAK YOU NEED THE TRUMP TO CONTOL THE HAND--A DIAMOND LEAD WITH THE KING OFF-SIDE DOOMS EITHER CONTRACT---WITHOUT A DIAMOND LEAD AND CLUBS 4-1 WITH Q-J FORTH IN THE SAME HAND YOU GO DOWN IN 6NT BUT NOT IN 6 SPADES AS YOU GIVE UP A CLUB PLAY THE A-K AND ROUGH OUT THE 4TH ---THE 5TH CLUB YOU DUMP YOUR DIAMOND---I STILL SAY DON'T BE A PIG
