TKS but the sound was clicked on. Tried it a few times... ok now. Still a good info as I don't remember having seen " Sound" before

Since last night I have no sound while playing. Anything I can do to get sound back? Tks Guy

I use Non-Serious 3NT.

With a heart control then all 3 outside suits are controlled. Opener can use RKC or respond to RKC as if it had been used by partner (1) (1) Since we don't cuebid past game, a bid of 5 hearts by opener would show 2 key cards w/o the trump queen. The reason opener "responds" rather than ask is that declarer knows how many trumps he has and can judge to bid 6 or 7.

Actually I made up that hand just to show that the bid of 4H is similar to the 4th suit, asking for H control, not showing a control, contrary to Marty Bergen's intention. You can just replace a small Diamond by the Queen.

The biding goes: South North 1♦ 1♠ 3♠ 4♦ 4♥ confirming the denied Club stopper but denying a Heart stopper. I play Non-serious 3NT so the reason for the 4♦ bid by North. I don't cuebid past game. Tks for the replies

A Bergen hand South Dealer Hand 1 South North ♠ A106 ♠ KQ7654 ♠ 9 ♥ AQ3 ♦ AJ964 ♦ K2 ♣ KQ2 ♣ 98 The biding goes: South North 1♦ 1♠ 3♠ 4♦ 4♥ (1) 4NT (2) 5♥ 6♠ Bergen’s comment: North’s 4♦ bid denies a ♣ control, the suit bypassed. So if South does not have a ♣ control either, he would sign off in 4♠. Because South did not sign off, he has to have a control. (1)The 4♥ bid shows first or second round control in hearts. (2) North now bids 4NT to reach the lay down slam. My hands Hand 2 South North ♠ AJ106 ♠ KQ7654 ♥ J10 ♥ AKQ ♦ AQ964 ♦ K2 ♣ QJ2 ♣ 98 The biding goes: South North 1♦ 1♠ 3♠ 4♦ 4♠ P My comment: North’s 4♦ bid denies a ♣ control, the suit bypassed. South does not have a ♣ control either so signs off in 4♠. ---------------------------------------- Hand 3 South North ♠ A1063 ♠ KQ7654 ♥ 94 ♥ AK3 ♦ AJ105 ♦ K2 ♣ AK2 ♣ 98 The biding goes: South North 1♦ 1♠ 3♠ 4♦ ??? 1.A bid of 4♠ by South would deny a ♣ control! 2. Compare hand 3 with hand 1 3. Any comment? 4. I have a solution, but I want to see yours first. Tks
