Advancing a Preempt 1

What's the plan? 2NT is (Modified) Ogust.

Modified how? What are our agreements about 1st seat white on red preempts? Do I have a way to follow Ogust with a forcing call below game that agrees spades?

 

Given what might pass for a 1st seat whilte on red preempt, I'd be inclined to just bid 4 unless any of the answers to the above questions indicate a viable alternative.

Even opposite Michale (MGoetze) I would not stop short of slam. I have play opposite some yrbs with 6223, so I need to make a try. I try 2 NBT with a good structure over this or 4 else.

Since noone mentioned it, what would an immediate response of 4 mean?

 

It's a specific suit ask in clubs (as are all the 4-level bids over 2).

 

The table result was 6 making. Rightly or wrongly I just jumped there, not wanting to direct the defense and thinking that most any first seat preempt would have play. At the other table they didn't open 2 and stopped in 4.

I agree with shortness ask, if partner has K its easy, but if he has A slam is also favourite (J, finese, doubleton, 1098, K dropping) after we find out he has short hearts, he could even have both!, I supose partner shows heart short with 4m bid, I would just bid 4NT over it, and ask for K if he holds A
