If that's the worst slam you ever have been my congratulations

(admittedly 6NT is a nice contract)

Dunno how to get to 6N. 6H is around 50/50 so whatever.

[Pict]

Pity you didn't post in A&E.

 

IC -4H

 

... to 6H looks inevitable to me.

1C 1H

2D 2S(gf, 5+ H)

3C 3H

3N 5H(long but broken H, slam invitation.)

6C pass.

6NT is hard to bid though.

There's a case for the auction going:

 

1♣-1♥

2♦-3♥

4♣-4♥

5♦-5♠

6♣-p

 

I don't see why South should be so eager to raise hearts on a stiff Q here when he knows slam is a good possibility and North could have a variety of heart suits where there are two losers some significant % of the time.

And if his 9 or T of hearts was the jack north should pull?
