Please let us know who the dealer is so we can try to get a start on the auction.

 

I assume that the vulnerabilty is none.

 

The lie of the cards is quite favorable. The ♠A is onside, but that may not even be necessary, as the AQ of diamonds comes down third. Give North one more diamond and the slam may be next to impossible on a club lead even with the spade Ace onside.

 

I don't think that this is a slam that I would want to bid.

South is a dealer. NS are red.

How can the bidding go if all 4 players are using SAYC?

P - 1♠ - 2♥ - X

P - 4♣ - P - 5♣

probably my auction

 

or east will bid 3♣ over 2♥ and west will make some strong bid, but they'll still probably get to 5

[ggwhiz]

P - 1♠ - 2♥ - 3♣

p - 3♥ (strong club raise)

 

gives you a chance ie. if east now cue bids 4♥ west might just blast 6♣

 

As Art points out the slam is pretty iffy but it's a LOT better than 3nt :o .

P - 1♠ - 2♥ - X;

3♥ - X - P - 4♣;

P - 4♥ - P - 5♣
