gordontd Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 If 4NT shows the ♥K, then it also denies the ♠K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbodell Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I would think 4N would be exploring at least 6 over a 4♥ K ask and 4♠ showing the ♠K. But you don't need to bid 6♥, you could show a different K or Q along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 After1m:1M1N:4♣ (1430 Gerber)4♦:4♥ if 4♥ asks for specifc kings then I would use 4NT to show the ♥K and deny the ♠K. It is arguably better to use denial responses here since we are more likely to want to sign off in a suit where the king is not held. After1m:1M1N:4♣ (1430 Gerber)4♦:4♥ (specific K ask)4♠ 4NT should asks for additional specific kings, not specifically the ♥K. It is enough to respond 5♥ with the ♥K and no minor suit king. I am assuming in this that the 4♣ bid does not agree any particular suit as trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I've never used or come across a "number of aces" ask followed by specific king ask in Gerber. Is this normal these days? I have always seen "number of aces" followed by "number of kings". Of course you can agree anything here with a specific partner, but what would be accepted as normal?
