Playing with my friend Tammy in a morning Swiss match, I picked up the following hand (first seat, all white):
862 AKQJ63 --- QJ74
Never mind the auction -- we had a misunderstanding about a piece of our system. But we stumbled to 4H. Dummy hits with:
KQJT954 T92 742 ---
On the lead of the Spade 7 (from 73), this is ice cold for 6, off three aces. Ironically, our bidding mishap kept us out of 4S, which only made 5. Win one. Go team:)
How would the auction go at your table?

I think for me, opener would start with 1H. Responder would've been all ready to weak jump shift in spades, but then hears the heart open and gets excited with support, and a void (good for ruffing on the short side, so better than getting tapped out in spades if I forced it without support from partner and they split poorly and start leading clubs). So after hearing the heart call, respond 1S.
1H-1S;
3C-3H (could maybe jump to 4H for fast arrival, but it is a 7 loser hand with support, so I give it a little more credit than a 4H jump);
then either offer a cuebid or go to 4H, but either way, responder signs off in 4H.
I'm happy being here. 6H can be pretty unfriendly on many layouts.
3c by opener is way too aggressive. I would rebid 2h but I don't completely hate 3h. Responder bids 3s either way, and opener raises to 4 (but probably cuebids diamonds if he's shown a min, then settles for 4s)
