mohitz Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 1♠ - 2NT 4♦ - 4♥5♣ - 5♦5♠ 1S = Standard 5 card major2NT = forcing major raise4D = 5 carder suit. Could be min hand4H = control showing, either first round or second round5C = club control, first or second5D = diamond control, could be Queen but not shortness I guess at this point of time, 6C should show club void and deny a heart control. 5H shows heart control. I am wondering what 5S means? Is it "I have nothing else" or does it make sense for 5S to ask for trump quality here? What should 5NT be and what should a jump to 6S show?

jjbrr Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 No ♥ control. Unless responder can't bid 4♥ with just the K. 5NT = good trumps 6♠ = attempt to sign off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 5S just shows a minimum which was too good to sign off in 4S, something like AQxxx xx AKxxx x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I suspect most experts would use 5♥ as "last train", leaving 5♠ as the signoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
