Cyberyeti Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 1♦-4♣ (void, optional voidwood)4♥(0/3 ignoring ♣A, and I still have an opening bid in the light of your club splinter)-7♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 1D 1H2D 5C This should lead to 7D very quickly. Opening 1N is masterminding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKok Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I don't play exclusion, but:1♦* (unbalanced)-2♦* (inverted minor);2♥* (values)-2♠* (values);3♦ (no sensible bid, NF)-3♥* (control/waiting for club values);4♦ (denies spade values, half club stopper or club shortness)-4NT (RKC 1430);5♦ (3/0)-7♦ Without exclusion blackwood the trick to this hand is to become captain of the auction as West. So instead of splintering to show your hand, you should keep making asking bids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBengtsson Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 1♦ - 1♥ - 2♦ - 4♣ splinter agreeing ♦ - 4♥ first round control - 5nt bid ♦ slam with two of ♦AKQ - 7♦ added: I do not see 5NT to be modern version 'pick a slam' as suit is already agreed, so 5NT is just to find out if partner has ♦A or K or both.

jillybean Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Ok, it's easy now I see all hands and approaches.My auction would start off like David's, but we do play exclusion so I hope our auction would be; 1♦ 2♦ (gf ♦)2♥ 5♣ exclusion keycard 0-1-2-35NT. 7♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL78 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Can you get to 7♦ when one of the opponents throws in a club pre-empt and the other one raises, which is likely given they have 11 including all three top honors between them?
