What was your NT range? If 15-17, then you were a liitle conservative, if 3C was slammish, since you have an excellent hand for a club contract.

 

Still, you got to a good spot.

you reached a good contract, it makes (win club ace, pull trumps, cash diamond king, cross to heart ace, throw heart on diamond A, give a club). So what is the big problem.

 

I would have opened West as 1NT in real world, 1NT rebid is ok. I would have cue-bid 2H over 1NT as east to establish a clear force.

I like 1 , 1 NT and 6 Spade.

I dilske 3 NT. After 3 your hand improves dramatically. You need just AQxxx,x,xxx,Kxxx to make slam exellent, so I had bid 3

I dislike 5 Club, now you must cuebid 4 Heart for sure

 

6 Spade was a good guess after you refused to show your hand you at least gambled well. Actually, if I had taken your seat after the bidding went to 5 Spade, I think I had bid 7 Spade than- ´no success.

 

IF I had bid it with myself:

 

1 (1 ) 1

1 NT 2 (15-17/GF)

3 4 (5 Clubs, KC for Club in competition)

4 6 (30/must be three)

Hi,

 

here some remarks:

 

#1 since 3C is not forcing, I would say 3C

is a slight underbid

#2 4D was meant as a cue, with club agreed

as trumps?

Unless you play Acol, responder does

not know about the club fit.

Still it is a move toward slam

#3 4H is better than 5C, although I can

understand 5C in the context of 3C (inv.)

 

With kind regards

Marlowe

 

PS: I mainly commented on bids made by East,

but ... this may help you in the post morten, what

ever my comments may be worth.

I'm sure the 3N bidder just thought 3C was invitational since responder has a 2H cuebid available. Looks essentially like EW had a misunderstanding but landed on their feet.
