MP - NV vs V
We bid the hand as follows...We play 3355 w/ Inverted/Multi varient.

You open 2D NV showing a weak major (ranging from 6-10 TP), standard 20-21 NT, or 18-19 long minor/20+ 5 card minor unsuitable for 2NT. Max/min 6 card suits may be bid at the 3 level NV if suit is supported well.

You are dealt..(SHDC)
AQJ
97
AQJT6
AK3

You reply with 2NT to show a balanced 20-21 NT. Partner continues with 3H to transfer to S.

How would you reply?


Full partnership hands and how we bid them...

4C (accept spades, club cue). Good trumps, good shape (given we're balanced), good controls.

Edit: The hand is almost too good for 20-21 NT.

Thought about that as well going with a 2C-xy-2NT, but was after my bid... <_<
2C opening would also open room to possibly get a little more info.

OP has asked: " In this situation...is a single D a 2nd round control bid? (Partner has shown all keycards) " .

The FIRST K-ask requires the cheapest bid K reply ( NOT a singleton ) .

The SECOND K - ask CAN show a singleton since the reply structure can show this:

For example ( are trump ):
4NT ( RKC ) - 5H ( 2 - Q )
5NT ( K-ask ) - 6C ( K )
6D ( 2nd K - ask ) - ??
........................ 6S = NO K or singleton
........................ 7S = - singleton
........................6NT = K but no Q
........................ 7D = K Q

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
For OP's given hand, if you used 5NT as the FIRST K-ask, the reply would have been 6D = K, denying the K .... and 7NT could have been bid with confidence .

In my RKC stucture, which is more standard, 6C ( over the 5H reply, by-passing the K-ask bid ) would have been a 3rd-Rnd-Ctrl-ask in .

What Don said with regards to bidding 5NT over 5. However, when playing this style of super-accept I think it is best if you make Responder Captain since Opener has essentially made a picture bid with 4. If Responder does the asking they can immediately count 6 spades, 5 diamonds and the round suit aces. Indeed I cannot understand why Responder did not simply bid 7NT over 6 in the given auction. The fact that Responder can count to 13 with the K should perhaps suggest that 6 should show something else here.

Note that I am assuming "strong side suit" means KQJxx or better which is the style I have commonly seen.

Happy New Year everyone!

Yes. My partner and I currently play 0314 over 5NT K also, so this wasn't an option. The strong side suit does in fact include something like AKJxx, KQJxx, AQJxx, or possibly a very solid 4 card suit or AKT9x.
