1) Partner could have as little as Kxx(x) and a stiff D to make 6S possible!
2) The opps figure to be able to make LOTS of hearts.
3) My pard won't like it but I try 4S!! I'll rescue myself in D if necessary. It rates to win a lot and lose very little. If partner can't take a joke I just bid 2C and rebid D if P bids Hs I hope partner will visualize something like this hand.What would you do with AQxxxx - QJTxxxx - Is this a good understanding?

Firstly I guess you don't mean Kxx of S and a stiff D, but Kxxx of S. Secondly the odds of D and S breaking when you hold an 8-5 shape are somewhat remote to say the least.
Thirdly look at Gonzalo's post above.

Lets put it to the opps - 5D for me.

What, you don't play (1m)-2NT as other minor + a major? Well, I guess you're stuck then... lol


Huh? I don't play that either. Instead, 2m = spades and another. Oh well...

I've only ever held an 8-5 hand once but based on that one hand :P as well as advice taken from several books I'd take this slowly and bid 1.
