3D 3H*****

3NT 4C

4D 5C

?

 

 

* 11-15 HCP, 5+ spades

** Forcing to game, 5+ diamonds, could have longer clubs

but definitely not 5 hearts

*** 6+ spades, no 4 hearts

**** At least 5-5 in the minors, no 2 spades

***** asks for stopper in hearts

 

3NT naturally promises a heart stopper.

Just a question - what would 1-2-2-3 be?

 

You say 1-2 could have longer clubs. He is obviously making a slam-try with his 3 followed by 4. But I am not sure if I want to bid 6 of any minor. South non-4-cuebid suggests 2 small hearts - so maybe 0256/1255 - void-xx-AKxxx-KQxxxx and slam is not cold, but I don't know.

 

I think I'll pass - srp.

I have a better hand than partner has the right to expect (AK A in the majors guarantees no major losers if partner is 1255, though I suspect he is more likely to be 6-5 in the minors on this bidding).

 

I think with a minimum hand with the minors, partner would not have bid this way (bidding 3H and pulling 3NT is a strong action to me). 5C instead of 5D also indicates slam interest.

 

I bid 5H for now and don't have any problem passing 6D.
