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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Without Void replies what else can you bid other than 5S = 2 + ♠ Q ? Using Void replies, the 5th step is 5NT = 2 + void somewhere ( obviously the ♥-void ) but says nothing about the ♠Q. One method I saw for 2 + void + trump Q was to reply 6-trump ( 6♠ here ) .

AyunuS Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 If you have no agreed upon way to show a void, I don't even see how anything other than 5 spades is an option here. Yes, I know there is the fear that he could pass 5 spades when he sees you're missing a control, when you might have a very easy slam, but I still don't see any other options you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
