Another monster hand

5S can't be right here.

It asks for a Ht-Ctrl... not trump quality.

 

I'd go ahead and bid 4NT-RKC ( 03 14 ) ...( even with the Ht-void ).

If 5C reply , then 5D! = sQ-ask... and you can stop in 5S if you don't hear anything you like.

... With a positive answer, you will be in 6S.

 

If 5D reply ( 1 key card, most likely the sK, but it could be the hA ).

...Again, make a sQ-ask.... and same as above.

My thinking at the table is, am I safe enough at the 5 level to look for a good holding from partner, either by bidding KC to see if partner holds KQxx of spades, or 5C to allow partner to know I've got the nuts (which im not sure we have)

 

Partner's hand is

while 4H does show a good hand, its naieve to imagine that partner will find it easy to ask with an aceless hand. Still the 5 level might not be safe but we do have some protection. I think partner should find a move himself when slam is good, but i thinkt he equity of moving is probably close to zero. I would probably have another try if I was behind in a TM.

Pass.

 

Partner will often move when right.

 

The actual hand is quite illustrative. Partner has an extremely well-fitting extreme max for 4, and 6 might go down. (Of course 6 is the spot to be, but not a disaster to miss it.)

Don't you think partner should make a move with this?

MP, vanilla 2/1 context.

 

Agree with 4H?

 

pass now or bid on?

 

Not only do I have a monster hand, the opponents have lots of wasted values in Hearts.

We're now playing with a 30 point deck and I have 18 of them by my lonesome...

 

My primary concern is sorting out strain.

Tempted to punt 5N
