Your call as West, with your preferred agreements?

2♠

I can't see anything but 4♥.

[mike777]

Options are 4H or 5H or 4C
Reject 2S
Will try 4H now and 5 clubs over 4s by opponents

5h immediately will just require pard to auto bid 6.

The most important thing is NOT to bid partners spade shortness for them.
See Justin's well known quote..

4♥ wtp?

[pescetom]

Still waiting for cyberyeti to chime in with a void splinter, mikeh to write a treatise on 4♥ and Davidkok to deprecate all the jump bids

FWIW I would bid 4♣ comfortably here. I would be more inclined to consider 2NT if the void was in diamonds.

For those who find 4♥ wtp here, what would you bid if two or three of your spades became clubs?

And what was Justin's well known quote?

Hand not good enough for void splinter, happy with 4♥, probably 3♥ with 5♥332

4♥. Why give the opponents any bidding room?
