ANSWER: You could be making six clubs, but partner rarely has the perfect hand. This comes down to a choice-of-games decision. Five clubs has a lot of potential top losers, while three no-trump could be off the whole heart suit. You will have enough tricks in no-trump if they cannot cash five hearts, so your choice is to try that or explore with three diamonds. In the latter case, you can always revert to five clubs.
