Finch Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Opposite a maximum strong NT responder is very close to a slam drive anyway; give responder the S10 instead of the H10 and I think he'd just bid slam opposite a max.I dunno, as others have said the CJ (rather than the HJ, say) makes a big difference to the number of tricks available.

han Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Anyone wanna simulate partner having a 5(332) 15 and not 4 of the top 5 spades opposite our hand and see how often slam makes just for fun? Double dummy 6NT makes 70% of the time. Not sure what that means, double dummy slams tend to make more often than real life slams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 If p has used this sequence properly-the worst case scenario is your P has K and opps have AQ.Your hand is 17 but has no JACKS and your minor suit length is a plus in a hand where p appears to have no strong interest in the majors. small slams around 32 balanced power not normally that hard to make if your side has no jacks. Squeezes have a tendency to show up quite regularly on handswhere the minors dont split 33. Splitting hairs maybe but IMO go for it. If possible I would bid 5n showing both minors in case we can more safely try 6 of a minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
