hello i am also looking for a partner

pick up partnership

♠ AKQ98 ♥ Q5 ♦ 7 ♣ KQ843 bidding goes : 1s 3d 4c 4d 4s opponents stay silent

♠8 ♥KJ53 ♦ K8742 ♣ JT7 My partner opens 3c, RHO passes. Would you raise to 4c here?

i live in Canada and as for "system" I first learned the charles goren style of play and that is mostly what I use.

let's say partner opens 1M and you have 4 of his suit and opening points. Game seems almost certain so how do you indicate that you should go to game (and if he has a powerhouse investigate slam) while setting trump as M?

I bid 5♣. Really wanted to play it too! If partner has anything less than a maximum pass opponents could easily have game and they shouldn't have that hard a time finding a fit since they are both marked with shortness in clubs. I do not believe I have ever gotten such a long suit before.

I enjoyed the interview.

okay just now on BBO I got dealt a wild hand. Unfortunately the host banned me from the table after I made my bid so I'm not 100% on the cards but I had 9! clubs to the QJT. We are white, opponents are red (this is described as white / red?) Bidding goes Pass, Pass and it's my bid. My concern is if I pre-empt at the four level my opponents might still find a major suit game. I had a fairly weak hand and do not recall the exact distribution of the other cards. Maybe 3 diamonds one heart? I think I had around 8 HCP in total.

I did end up playing the K, fearing that I might lose my club trick if I dawdled but at least I considered the T before hand. Declarer, not surprisingly, rose with the ace. Le sigh.

Am I allowed to ask my opponents what a particular bid means? Must they answer?

comments on the bidding would be appreciated as well but mostly i am curious about my play on the first trick. west dealt and the bidding goes I am south WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH 1♠ DOUBLE PASS 2♣ PASS 2♥ 2♠ PASS PASS 3♣ PASS 3♥ 3♠ DOUBLE ALL PASS Partner leads the 4c, dummy shows Q73 ♠ T52♥ J62 ♣ QJT5 ♦ and I hold J8♠ QJ73 ♥ 42 ♦ KT953 ♣ Declarer calls for the 6c Do you play the K or T?

I feel like there must be some way to squeeze defenders of their minor suit kings.

♠ AJ975 ♥ A9 ♦ Q862 ♣ A2 bidding goes 1s, 4NT, 5h (i should respond 5s), 6s opponent leads 7d and dummy shows ♠ KQT842 ♥K763 ♦A ♣ Q5 Can I take all the tricks here? How?

no one?!?
