kenrexford Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I really don't like a requirement to have the club Ace to cuebid 5C. But, with the methods, 5D seems right. Partner has to understand that this likely shows interest, with a club card I cannot cue, and likely heart problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 In your original post, you should change "&e=" to "&n=", presuming that we're actually looking at the North hand. I probably wouldn't try for slam, but if I did it would be 5♠, since that addresses my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Do I have enough what? I think I have enough strength to explore slam. I don't have enough information about how frisky CHO's 4S bid might be, nor enough brains to know what kind of slam try to make. But, I will probably move anyway.

I prefer 5♠ Invites slam and denies a control. 5-level cue is stronger and expects partner to bid the slam with the missing control or is interested in grand.

PhantomSac Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 You have a slam force but you have no heart control. I agree with 5S to indicate that type of hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
