i could not care less about the spade K and that fact asking rkc for spades

makes any conclusion speculative at best. The equal vul means this bidding

could turn highly competitive and p might think they are much stonger in defense

than they are (if p is looking at AKQ of spades they wont know they are tram tickets

on defense),

W/O investigation there is no way to know if our combined hands are worth 3 4 5 6 7

spades and we arent even going to consider 3. This may be the right time to try and

throw some smoke on the bidding and try 2d (not 2c we may need that as exclusion).

 

whatever p bids over 2d might be more than sufficient to allow us to use exclusion

(lets say p bid 3h splinter for ex) now 5c exclusion is perfection since it will key on the

dia and spade aces only-----i realize this is imaginative but this may be the only way

to discover how high we can go. so if p has AQJT9 x Axxx xxx we bid an amazingly

accurate 7s and with other bids from p we may well be able to decide btn 4 and 6s.

 

One more thing if you use exclusion you need to have a partner that trusts you enough

to pass 7s when u bid it and not to bid 7n if they hold AKQJx for ex:)))))))))))))))))))))))))

you have to admit its at least an "interesting" bid

2♣. I will play 4♠ anyway (unless P bids ♥ maybe). So this is a chance to get doubled and also mislead the defence. Partner won't be misled after I support ♠, as 2♣ might be on only 3.
