From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

When partner asks for keycards, he says that control of any particular suit isn't a problem, and what he wants to know about is keycards. So you should answer the question he asked.
On the actual hand, 4NT seems an overbid. Slam seems unlikely, or even impossible, opposite a hand that bid only 3♠.
I agree that defending 5♥x is normal, and it was unlucky that it was making.

... 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

Well 5m by me would be natural so i dont have the luxury to cuebid. Also ive put partner with xx in H so i was expecting him to have more stuff on the side and my my QH to be useful. I also had some hope that 6D in a 4-4 fit would be a great contract if partner had 5S4D.

I fail to see why someone bid key card with 3 fast losers. So I am not in agreement that 5H dbled is a normal spot.

Say North were to bid 4♠ instead. How do you see the auction progressing after
2♥ - X - 3♥ - 3♠
4♥ - 4♠ - 5♣ - P
5♥?

The problem here is that over 5C (lead directing) do you need a club control to respond keycards ? I was happy to play 5Hx rather than 6Sx losing the 2 first clubs, of course this is before declarer showed up with a 75
