Partner opens 1S. You force to game with 2C, he bids 2N, you lift to 3N, and he bids 4S. What does partner have? What's your bid?

Does partner think 2C was a Drury bid? Wtf is 2N if he's got a stack of spades? Is 4S a slam try denying the other three aces? Too hard to tell. Pass and (silently) blame the result on partner. You don't have a way to escape this because it seems too likely your partner will misinterpret any bid you make here.

I can probably find the 4NT card somewhere. My guess is that he intends this as a sort of slam try for clubs, but I'm not going to attempt to field it.

He shows something like 18-19 balanced, but with six spades, worth rebidding but not solid/semi-solid or he'd have jumped to 3S over 2C. Something like

agree with lenv1

After some deliberation, I think that he has 18ish semi-balanced with a so-so 6-card spade suit he didn't feel like launching to 3 spades with.

Seems like I bid 4NT.

The other possibility is, he's being tactical or cute and hoping I just pass.

big balanced with solid 6 carder

Partner with a solid balanced 6 carder will often prefer to bid 2nt(showing extras in my book) instead of a space consuming 3s bid.

my feeling is that slam is at least 50% on a probable club finesse.

so i bid 6S
