6D. We are too high to find out any sensible information enabling us to bid a grand if it is there.

I can't imagine doing anything but bid 6D.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Partner has nothing .... except six hearts to the ten. Both major kings are offside but with hearts 2-2 six diamonds rolls home.

Thanks to respondents, juniors now owe me a beer :)

6♦ on the one useful card theory. Will I make a forcing pass over 7♣? Yes!

Do you play forcing passes also in the pass-out seat, Phil? :P

Well, a 5♣ opener could be doing anything when it comes p - p to him...perhaps its more interesting if partner makes a FP :)
