6 clubs not found

[P_Marlowe]

Hi,

 

late to the party.

 

I dont think 4S is the right bid, opener never showed a 6th spade,

so 4S sounds more like 6421 than 5422, with 5422, why remove NT?

 

The best South could do is raise 3NT to 4NT quantitative, although

opener is limited by just 2S, opener has at most 14HCP, and 14+18

is 32, so not makeing the inv. raise is understandable.

You can upgrade the respondng hand to 19+, which brings you to 33,

so the inv. raise is not out of the question

 

If opener accepts the invite, he can suggest club as a possible strain,

or show his 6th spade.

 

Showing the heart stopper, instead of showing the club fit is also

reasonable.

 

So all in all I would say, next board.

 

With kind regards

Marlowe

This is the whole point and the reason why 4♠ shows a slam try. You would not be removing 3NT to 4♠ here otherwise.

 

As an aside, there are some versions of Acol where a 6th spade has been promised here. It mostly depends on what you open with a 5♠(332) hand in NT range.

In this hand are two suits with 8 cards than it is tendentially a 6-keycBlw but a suit remained hidden. After 2♣ followed by 3♦ partner show force it being answered rever that with touching suits means a 5-4 hand (why doesn't raise ?). About RKB 6 ♣ infact query for Q (why ?-6♠).
