Was 5H a mispull form the bidding box ? Intended to bid 5D?, or 4H as a splinter? We do non know what is going on, so everyting is like a guesswork 1st choice is 7D, 2nd chioce is 7NT. Pass is sure no option.

South choosing an undiscussed jump to the five level is an infraction of Law 72A's second sentence: "The chief object is to obtain a higher score than other contestants whilst complying with the lawful procedures and ethical standards set out in these laws." David Grabiner: .....If partner intended the bid as Exclusion Blackwood..... Richard Hills: Zero Canberra players use the Blackwood variant Exclusion Blackwood (perhaps because that variant is rare and error-prone). Many Canberra players use the Blackwood variant Minorwood (perhaps because that variant is rare and error-prone). Different parts of the world have different preferences for different Special Partnership Understandings / conventions. Hence different Regulating Authorities promulgate different Alert rules. For example, the Aussie Alert regulation requires Alerts and/or pre-Alerts of natural calls that the opponents are "unlikely to expect". So the Ali-Hills partnership pre-Alerts that in auctions such as 1H - 1S - X the double would be a natural penalty double, rather than the expected negative double.

It can't be an asking bid, as partner can't have enough controls outside of hearts to insist on a 5-level contract if he is lacking a heart control. If partner has 12 or 13 red cards (- AKQxx AQJxxxx x), I want to be in 7D or 7N. If partner intended the bid as Exclusion Blackwood, I can't imagine a hand which could do this without a play for 7S (KJxxx - AQJxxxx x is likely). So, rather than responding the systemic 6D to Exclusion, which partner might pass with 12 red cards, I'll bid 7D, guaranteeing that we will reach some grand. Partner can correct to 7S if that was his intention. 6D is a logical alternative; it would be my choice if I am sure we play Exclusion, as it will get us to 7S rather than 7D. (Partner can bid 6H over my 6D to confirm interest in a grand, and I'll bid 7S then.)
