[hv=d=s&v=n&s=skt9763ha5dak42c8]133|100|Scoring: IMP Play 2/1 S W N E 1♠-(2♦)-3♦-pass- ?[/hv] North's 3♦ shows limit raise of ♠ or better, now is South's hand worth a try for slam? If to try, what's the proper re-bid for south? 3♥?4♣? or4♦? For the partnership who play "serious 3NT "over major fit, is this conventional 3NT still applied here after partner's 3♦?

Thanks all for your valuable comments. I have to say sorry for the error of title"Jump Reverse", which should be "Normal Reverse" here. This hand was played between me and my partner in the swiss team of a regional tournament last weekend. For our partnership, 3♣ rebid by south just agrees ♣ fit which could be only 3 cards. 3♥ by North was a hand patten's decription as well as extra value showing. 4♥ advance by south should be a obvious cuebid which also denies ♦ control as 4♦ is skipped. This informstion seems enough for North to move forward for 6♣, but the only question left for North is: how to investigate ♣Q from south's hand? it seems RKC Black Wood doesn't work here as South can't show trump Q with only one key card and North can's afford to ask ♣Q at 5 level after RKC. Should this point be considered by South before he makes his call vs 3♥?

[hv=d=s&v=b&n=sakqxhkqxdxcakxxx&s=sxxxhaxxdqxxcqxxx]133|200|Scoring: IMP Playing regular 2/1[/hv] The auction goes: South West North East pass pass 1♣ pass 1nt pass 2♠ pass 3♣ pass 3♥ pass ? It looks North has a pretty big hand and is trying something more than a game, now for south, how to co-operate with the partner with this hand?

Thanks, I do appreciate all comments above. This was a real hand happend at my bridge club's team league two monthes ago. I assume that it is rare to hold such a hand at South's seat in such an auction so that the response would be a real challenge even for regular partnership at expert level. At the open table, the south(our opponent) bided 4♠ to show a strong hand and probably implied other 2 suits, but the north believed it was strong raise to ♦ suit and they finally reached 7♦ which was 3 down as ♦ break was 5-1. Trust me, North/South were expert players and regualr partners. I am wondering that is there anyone playing 4NT as a sort of convention which could show such a hand here? As 4♠ cuebid is always available to show a strong hand with ♦ support, why do we need to keep 4NT as ♦ RKC Blackwood here?

[hv=d=n&v=n&n=sa763h84dak1095c73&s=sqhakq52d43cakq96]133|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv] After North opens 1♦, East makes a preemptive bid 3♠, you are sitting South with such a strong 2 suits hand, what is your proper response?

Suppose you bid double now the auction goes: South West North East 1♣ 1♥ pass pass double pass 2♦ pass ? Your partner bids 2♦ over your double, what would you do now?

[hv=d=s&v=b&s=saq87ha5dk8ckqjt6]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You are sitting south and play 2/1, so you open 1 Club and prepare to reibd your Spade reversely. Your LHO over calls 1H and "pass", "pass" from your partner and your RHO. Now comes to you. What is your proper rebid? 1 spade? 2 spade or double?
