Route 66

4NT (if it showed minors), planning to raise partner's 5 to 6 next round.

yes give up on grands

 

If 5 NT shows this hand, this is fine too, but I am not sure if pd will understand this. But he surely will understand 4 NT followed by 6 in his minor.

4NT followed by 5NT, should be grand slam try...

as is 4 NT followed by a raise, isn´t it?

 

After all you bid slam opposite a possible non fitting yarb.

So pd with xxx,xxxx,Kx,Axxx will at least think about 7 Club

after the bidding .... 4 NT 5 6

4NT followed by 5NT should show a preference for the minor that partner did not bid imo.

 

Over my 5NT partner might bid 7 with only the club ace, but then we might still make 7.

I'm in the 4NT and raise boat too here. I think 5NT is too anti-positional here and leads to easier sacs (heck they may have six of a major on this construction for all I know!)

Can't you make a distinction between these auctions? I mean, 5NT is slower, so should show an even stronger hand. :huh:

But if opps compete to the 5-level, 6m may be a competitive bid.

 

It would be nice to be able to distinguish between a 6m-bid with first-round control in both major suit, and a 6m-bid without. Then again, this is probably not on the top-ten wishlist for gadgets to add to our vanilla bidding system :huh:
