Raising with 5 trumps...

[mgoetze]

Well I didn't say I would never bid this. I just meant we never discussed it. ;)

Don't bid 2♠ on 5!!!!

 

There was a hand in the cavendish where joe and some others bid 2S on 6 over 1S (2C) ? It was seriously like Jxxxxx Jx Qxx Qx red/white or something. At my table I overcalled 4C and shane bid 4S and I reopened X haha.

 

Anyways, I think bidding 2S with 5 is forced a lot if you don't have a mixed raise available. It is simply a flaw of your system that you have no bid for a reasonable common hand type, a hand not worth a limit raise but too good for a preemptive raise that wants to still preempt. I mean, if my options with a 5332 7 count not vul are bidding 4S (!) or bidding 3S which I also might do with xxxx xx xxxx xxx or something, or bidding 2S, I'm bidding 2S.

 

I don't think this hand qualifies as that hand though because it is good enough for a limit raise. The 5th trump is worth a lot and we are prime.

As i have already said in "1♥-p-4♥" (topic-see) i use "Oklahoma" convention to give partner information of number of Ace(s) in this way : it's estabilished that 4♣=1 Ace, 4♦=2 Aces whilest with no ace 4 of trump and opener values if information serves and if not corrects in 4 of trump. But because i see you like insert keycard and to have two Aces could be minus frequent it can change in 4♣=1 keycard, 4♦=2 keycards and 4 of trump with 0 keycard (becoming "keycard-Oklahoma").(Lovera)

"Oklahoma" involves bidding 4♣ or 4♦ over 4♥? I like it!

Partner's 1♠ showed 5 spades, 11-21 points.

Your options:

2♣ Invitational with 3 spades / GF with clubs / GF balanced

2♠ 6-9 with 3+ spades

2NT Invitational+ with 4+ spades

3♠ preemptive raise (0-5)

4♠ undefined [/hv]

IMO 2N = 10, 4♠ = 9, 2♠ = 8.

No, not only heart but also spade (on major suits). The solution of keycards it's a mine idea; this convention it is better of "Swiss" being of same type (strange that you don't know because is not recent).
