So partner's actual hand was x Kxx xxxxxx Txx... I bid 4♣ and made 4 if I remember right, but I was wondering if I had overthought the hand in assuming partner was a favorite to hold 6♦.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

If partner has some values, yes he's likely to have six diamonds. If he doesn't, you can't make any such inference. He wouldn't act over 1♠ with a 4-count and 1453, 1552, 1542, 1642, 1731, etc.

How likely is it that he has values? That's hard to answer - the outstanding points might be divided 9-9-4 or 16-0-6 - but "favorite" is probably overstating it.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
