inquiry Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 WithAKQJxxxx, A, -, AQxx you open 2 clubhow to ask for k of club Your p open 3 h and you have xxx, Axxx, AKQxx, AHow to know if he is single or void or with A in spade Let's assume that you play 2D as the almost automatic response. If so, you can do what I do, use a jump shift by opener as "optional keycard blackwood" to set trumps and ask for key cards. I call it optional, because the first step denies the desire to participate (almost never happens), then real steps start with the second step. Anyway, after keycard ask (which you are not interested it, and it doesn't matter what answer your partner gives you) you can ask about values in particular suits just like (note first step over his first first step ask for keycards, he will never have more than one for his no interest, so if partner had bid 3NT -- denying desire to show keycards, 4C would force a key card response, while 5C would ask).

Cyberyeti Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 WithAKQJxxxx, A, -, AQxx you open 2 clubhow to ask for k of club 2♣-2♦/♥-3♠ solid suit, partner should cue K♣ if he has it. Your p open 3 h and you have xxx, Axxx, AKQxx, AHow to know if he is single or void or with A in spade This is a tough one, particularly as any science is likely to attract the spade lead. I'd probably just blast 6♥ particularly if vul or partner was in 2nd seat suggesting a preempt should be sound. Partner doesn't need the ace or a singleton, Kx, KQxxxxx, x, xxx is fine.

blackshoe Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Your p open 3 h and you have xxx, Axxx, AKQxx, AHow to know if he is single or void or with A in spadeAndersen and Zenkel (Preempts From A to Z) advocated playing 4♣, 4♦ and 4♠ in this position as control asking bids. If the opening bid is 3♠ you don't have a control asking bid in hearts; 4♥ is to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
