Oops, thank you for the correction, eagles123. Very sorry. Will edit now

East: [hv=pc=n&e=saqjt543hq6da62c8]133|100[/hv] Dealer is West. None Vul. Bidding: 1♦(W) - 2♥(N)- 2♠(E)-3♣(s)-3♠(W)-4♣(N)-? I wouldn't mind if you tell me that somethimg must be wrong with this bidding but still need to know if bidding did go like this, what East should do next? Just game? Or...?

Here is the hand. Both 4♥ and 4♠ making [hv=pc=n&s=sakq92ha4d432c982&w=s5hkj9753da7cq654&n=sjt87h82dkqt985cj&e=s643hqt6dj6cakt73]399|300[/hv]

Dealer: North Vul: Both [hv=pc=n&s=shk97654dqt3cak95&w=sqt632hj832dj4cj7&n=skj8haqtdak652cq8&e=sa9754hd987ct6432]399|300[/hv] I'd like to know how would you bid. I'd also like to know how should bidding go if it strarted this way: 1♦ - 1♥ 2NT-3♥ 4♥ Would really like to use Voidwood now, but it has to be jump to 5♠, right? which is too high ...

This is dealer's hand. I don't open weak two with 4-card major. Would you open it? Anyway if bidding went Pass(N)-Pass(E)-1♠(S)-2♥West), what should I say? Just jump to game? Vul: N/S North: [hv=pc=n&n=sjt87h82dkqt985cj]133|100[/hv]

1H (2S) 3D (4S) Yes, that's the way it started. Forcing Pass - very interesting for me idea already...

Dealer: North, Vul:None [hv=pc=n&s=s74hk8dakt9763ck7&w=saj93hjt62dc96543&n=s2haq743dq4caqjt2&e=skqt865h95dj852c8]399|300[/hv]

Blackshoe: "Hugh Kelsey said "if you don't go down in half the slams you bid, you aren't bidding enough slams". " Like this B-) Thank you for all the answers!

[hv=pc=n&n=sakj542hadkj2ckjt]133|100[/hv] Not sure if 1♠ is a right opening bid here. But if I did open 1♠, what should I do after 2♠ response?

Wackojack, I thought 3d in response to 1M was showing 4-card support

Thank you, Free and Antrax! If not using "game try, some shortness" yet but willing to try control showing cue bidding right after 2H at what level Spades should be bid?

Tempting to bid slam. How to avoid it? North bidding first. [hv=pc=n&s=sak94haqt874djct2&n=sjthk532dak42cj65]133|200[/hv]

Thank you ArtK88! Clear enough.

ArtK78, thank you for your great detailed answer! Very helpful.

Thank you, jillybean and Cyberyeti! Really like Cyberyeti's auction>

Thank you for the answers! I would actually do the same P-1♦-P-1♠-P-2♦-P-2♠-P-P-P> The way I learned this hand is too good for WJS. But as you know real life is different sometimes. North came in with 2C. What would you do in East's seat now? .

If hard to decide between 1H and 2H would it be a good idea to Pass and try to describe hand later?

Dlr: South Vul: N/S [hv=pc=n&s=s64hkqj64d652ckt2&w=stha973dkj9743ca4&n=sqj85h85datcqj876&e=sak9732ht2dq8c953]399|300[/hv]

Dealer:West, Vul: E/W [hv=pc=n&s=s876hk98532da7ck7&w=saqjhaq76djt852ca&n=sk2ht4dkq9cq86543&e=st9543hjd643cjt92]399|300[/hv]

billw55, partner had [hv=pc=n&s=s7hajtdat82ckq872]133|100[/hv] Can they reach slam?

still confused about 4-4 VS 5-3 I know that if both fits are majors, 4-4 shd become trump. Still the same even if 4-4 is a minor and 5-3 is a major?

Thank you for the answers! Mikeh: "Bid 3♠. This is forcing even if not playing 2/1 gf." Yes playing SAYC. 2D is 10+, forcing, but not GF. Is it possible to use Bergen if playing SAYC? In that case in 1S-2D-3D-3S sequence 3S could be with 10-bad 12, no?

Exactly same question [hv=pc=n&n=st3hkq8743d5ca653]133|100[/hv] This hand belongs to diller Isn't it too good for weak 2?

eagles123, I like your auction! Even playing SAYC, this will work fine and solve my problem (how to check keycards in ♠) and I agree not easy to decide on slam but having a good second suit helps, right? TylerE, like your 1M-3NT, too. Is this a part of some convention? We are not using that 3NT bid over 1M otherwise anyway, right?

Dealer: East [hv=pc=n&s=skq852h62dk962ca8&w=st96hat54djcjt532&n=saj4hk87daqt3ck74&e=s73hqj93d8754cq96]399|300[/hv] How would you bid this hand? Would you go to slam? You may not like this bidding but I'd like to get an answer anyway... 1♠ - 2♦ 3♦ - 4NT If using RKCB 0314, South supposed to answer about Diamonds, right? How to check ♠ K and Q then?
