Hi!

I played (natural, RKCB) for the very first time with this guy and this
came up. He had KQ86, AJ9, AQ632, 7 and I had A732, 4, J95, AQT84. MPs,
non-vul, opponents silent, bidding (not the most scientific one) went

1D - 2C
2S - 4NT
5C - 6S
6NT

Down four.

Me: "Hmm...?"
He: "I thought you might have only 3 spades since your first round bid
wasn't spades."

Might I?

Well, if what you are looking for is confirmation that partner is a
dingbat, then you have it. What is all this guessing about? On the
other hand that 4NT bid is wildly overoptimistic, so you haven't done
any better. I seldom go to slam with a 4-4 fit. If you have some way
to show that heart singleton then do so, otherwise settle for the
spade game.
