kenrexford Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I was actually thinking along the lines of a sort of fusion between Exclusion and the old Culbertson 4NT/5NT convention, in theory. Something like 5♥ showing a void and a need for some number of keycards to go beyond 5♠ (with 5♠ showing that number or fewer). An immediate 5NT instead would invite a grand if partner has some other number of keycards (sign off at slam if not, show specific Kings if yes, or bid grand if yes+1). 5♥-signoff-5NT (or others) would be a power grand try (I can make a grand even opposite the rejection, partner). Opener can also "super-accept" a 5♥ try with acceptance+1 values, in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 it sounds very odd but I play this as GSF, sounds like 2 voids. 2 voids?? I can't really imagine that. To me pard has some 5332 and points for 6NT :) Does invite to a grand, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to love a call that has as it perhaps only two plausible contextual/theoretical contenders for logical meaning either: a. 5332, orb. wild-ass hand with two voids "You would NEVER do that unless you had either 5332 with just enough for a small slam OR a wildly distributional hand with two voids." That just sounds so insane, and yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
