E:1S-the auction will not die. Lets hear if partner can support spades.
E:1S-why distort the bidding in any way?
E:1S-how else will you convince partner of 5 spades?
C:1S-otherwise the auction will get confusing and difficult.
R:this seems like an obvious call. Everything else seems like
  manufacturing a bid.

C:1S-too bad I can't show a two suiter in balance chair. 
R:why not? What are you using 2C for?

E:1D-jump in spades next
E:1D-saves room after heart bids to show spades rather than vice versa.

E:2C-cuebid to show a good hand.

E:dbl-partner didn't have a heart suit to bid or preempt the first time,
  so we can't get into too much trouble.
C:dbl-respond in spades if partner bids hearts, implying a two suiter.
C:dbl-this only shows values in balance chair, not shape.
C:dbl-I have a convenient call no matter what partner does.
C:dbl-leaves plenty of room to describe your hand.

C:2D-intermediate. show spades next.

C:2S-Show your values. Never mind your distribution isn't right. Spades 
  is the most likely spot for game.
R:this was the actual call at the table. Down one. LHO had all the outstanding
  points(well, 19) and AKxx of spades. Partner had five hearts to the K and
  out(2-5-2-4).
