IMO,two pards just like two hands,usually we bid them in "natural system".It's hard to bid precisely,ie,the bidding skill in "natural system" might decide the two pards' cooperative relationship. what do you think about my opinion?

... , I bid 2NT.

Dbl first!

I‘ll pass unless in "wos"!

Splinter,3S or 4C,as your convention!

IMO，it's the relationship of problem about quantity and quality.

Dbl!

3D!

If you mean "gladiator", you could make a reference to Gladiator: http://home.nikocity.de/kwiese/konvent/Glad.htm

Imo,7HCP,especially 6 @♦,can afford directly 2♦,even if ♦ could be 4-3 fit.

It's necessary to make some tools set. Mila85 has uncovered a crytic question. TY all.

3H cue-bid after pd's takeout dbl should be blamed.

Now,what's the reasonable detail routine? 3D-6D just indicates that you bid natural,do you?

Jahol,IMO,you should be blamed for the missed slam bidding. I agree with your pd completely: The key to the slam is control(s) of Di,especially after opp's competitive 2D. It's obvious!

Pass,Let pd has an option.

Agree with those who dbl.

Pass 3D but dbl 4D!

Pass!

Now you have an option and a misgiving,May 1H is better.

Balanced 1NT,not strange!

Not correct to 4D,otherwise why dont you compete with 4D directly?

♠8!

Pass to avoid hi-level misfit!

To late to make any decision!

It's obvious that 3NT is gambling! If there 's a convention of gambling between them,3NT will be the open bidding!
