That was a political answer, right? I.e. the kind that leaves the question untouched B-)

Well you did ask a question that's impossible to answer without seeing partner's hand.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

People here hate 2♣ openers so they will be quick to criticize it and be happy to give it full blame.

But they are wrong.

I was going to reply to this, but then I saw you're marked as a resident troll, so I will follow the canonical advise of not feeding the trolls.


OK then I'll say it.

LOL

and you are, of course, right?

I don't suppose you have a bidding book coming out anytime so that I can burn and replace all of my existing texts with your masterpiece?

Partner had 6C, 5N, pass then 5N, pass then 6C available. Who has any clue what the difference of all of them is? I'd guess partner has the majors.
I doubt whether many pairs have discussed this. Partner may be 3-suited or have three possible 2-suiters. Assuming X = penatly, perhaps 5N = Red or pointy suits. 6♣ = 3-suiter or majors. But by using the forcing pass, you could distinguish all these, by agreement.

Bid 6♦. Partner has something like ♠ Kxxxx ♥ Kxxxx ♦ - ♣ Axx
Your 2♣ opener has worked quite well :). Partner will probably play in 6♥ with chances in spite of likely bad breaks.

And what if you've got the hand you're just as likely to hold like A, x, AKQJ10xxx, Kxx, I'm sure you'll enjoy playing 6♥ or 7♦.
I would prefer 6N :) but I understand CyberYeti's argument in favour of a 1♦ opener
