luckyloser Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Your hand: ♠KQJxx♥-♦AJxx♣Qxxx you open 1♠ and the bidding goes (opps silent): 1♠ - 2NT (4 card supp, gameforce, maybe slam)3♥(sing or void) - 4♣(cue)4 ♦ - 4 NT??? partner has shown a strong raise with 4-card support and a ♣control. he has denied the ♥A (no cue after 4♦) and has slam interest; he now asks for Aces (roman keycard), it seems Aces are his main concern now. your correct bid now is 5♠, showing 2 Aces (♦A and the trump K) plus the trump Q (you haven´t agreed upon how to show a void). partner knows you are short in ♥ but not that you are void. your 4NT answers show (5 Aces): 03,14,2,2+Q do you bid 5♠ or something else and why?

ahydra Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Can not partner have the HA? He doesn't have to cuebid - perhaps he only wanted to hear that you had a diamond control. So I wouldn't worry about showing the void if you don't have responses for that. Just bid 5S. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 We use 6♥, 2+Q+void ♥ 5N=2 no Q+ a void not sure if this is standard or best ? Where 3♥ has already pinpointed the shortage, I'd probably usesomething like: 5N=2 no Q, void♥ and at least one side K6m=2+Q+that K6M=2+-Q no side K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Cyber.... You sure have a lot of bids to show 2 key cards + void, etc. So, how do you show 1 key card + void, etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Cyber.... You sure have a lot of bids to show 2 key cards + void, etc. So, how do you show 1 key card + void, etc ?We don't, but in many cases we already showed the void earlier. We play things like specifically void splinters as responses to 1suit. I've never liked showing a void and only 1 keycard committing you to 6 as it can be a good way to get to 6 off 2 aces when partner needed 2 aces for a slam, and has the ace opposite your void. I don't know what 4♥ is here for opener over 2N, but would be void for us (although it would show a bit more than we have on this hand).
