Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

what do you do now? 1NT was 15-17.

Ugh, what a terrible auction. 5♥ is one of the worst bids I've ever seen. I now bid 6♣, what I should have done last round.

Abstain.

I cannot relate to a system where 1NT shows 15-17.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

Pass?

It is either Pass or XX, XX makes only sense, if we are pretty sure, we go at most
-1, which I am not.
Ok p makde a slam try with 5D, but THEY also heard the slam try, so ...

With kind regards

The only call that is consistent with my previous calls is pass.

But if I was subbed in in this mess I would try 5NT, hoping partner takes it as pick-a-minor.

You should have announced that you play support doubles here- you surely do, else the bidding is too horrible to follow.
