If playing minor suit transfers: 2♣ 2♦ (waiting) 2NT 3♠ (transfer to Clubs showing six or more clubs) 4♣ (accept the transfer), 4♦, splinter (although some may play this as natural), then 4NT, 5♦ (1430 showing 0 Key cards) 5♥ (Queen?), 5♠ (Queen) then either guess for 6♣ or 7♣ an argument can be made for 5NT to ask for kings. I know some people do not play minor suit transfers over 2NT, but this hand is tailor-made for these transfers. If you're not playing minor suit transfers: On the 2NT bid, you know that partner has at least 22 points. You have 7 HCP and 10 total points with distribution, putting your pair at 32 points. With your HCP bringing your pair's total to 29 HCP, that means there are 11 outstanding. While it is possible that partner is missing two aces and a king, I would suggest bidding 4♣ Gerber. If you play 1430, partner's response of 4♦ (one or four aces) will tell you immediately that partner has all four as 12 points (three aces) is over the maximum that the opponents can have, and you can bid six or ask for kings. If partner bids 4♥ (0 or 3) or 4♠ (two without the queen), you can safely stop in 5♣ although with reckless disregard for propriety (and my partner's sanity), I'd probably still bid 6♣ and claim I misclicked or pulled the wrong card from my box when he goes merrily down 1 or 2. (Last part is a joke.)

Hi Everyone: I am looking for a partner for a ACBL accredited cruise 12/5 to 12/14. We are sailing through the Panama Canal from Miami to Machu Picchu. I am also looking for a female roommate for the director of Greybull WY Bridge Club as well. Full Disclosure: I am the travel agent who is booking this cruise. The needs are legitimate. If someone on this cruise already is looking for a playing partner that would be great. Thanks, Dale Page
