neilkaz Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 manudude, my friend, I bid in SAYC as shown, and don't dream of missing slam. 1♠-2♣ (10+) -3♠ (very good ♠ suit and 100% GF and invites Q bidding. Since the hand with 4 aces now is totally in love with things he Q's or bids Blackwood and we claim our 7NT. The secret is, not to muck around with 2♥ as opener when responder has 99% denied 5♥ and you hold 9 almost certain tricks and have a perfect and forcing 3♠ bid to describe the picture for PD ? The same applies to ACOL or SEF as well. There's no need for opener to muck around with 2♥, 4SF or what ever !! 3♠ also sets the suit for RKCB not that it matters if opener is playing normal Blacky. Look at opener's hand !! The only thing he care's about is PD's aces. He'll be happy to get some cooperation after 3♠ so he doesn't risk the unlike loss of a trick to a very protected 10 of ♠. Big what you are dealt and jump when you have loads of extras and said jump creates a perfect picture of you hand and you'll be rewarded with laydown slams.
