I was sitting East partnering with a nice guy. 2/1 system, all common conventions available. ♠K off side 5♠ made +1, 34%.

It was a yucky sequence, great fit in 2 majors but just have no way to describ side suit. I had too few control in all suits, and pard had too many clubs to take care of.

20 of 47 tables reached 6S:

1S----6S

1S----2H----(3D)
3H/4H---4NT.........

Do you like any of these? For me.... hmmm.....(g) .
What's your approach?

For once, a hand where I like exclusion (5♣ directly).

Of the auction to 6♠ that you quote, 1♠-6♠ seems by far the best. At least that way, it might still make when opps lead the wrong of their 3 aces.

Funny enough if you have the tools to pass with that hand, yes pass and then show a void splinter over partner's one spade opening bid you should get there.

Just goes to show passing with these hand types with less than 3QT does not have to be a disaster.


p=1s
3h=3s
3nt=4c
4h=5c
5h=6s

3h=stiff or void somewhere, slam try by passed hand.
3s=relay Partner can still have 13 hcp and 2.5 QT/6 loser hand.
3nt=void somewhere
4c=where?
4h=void in d
5c=cue
5h=cue
6s end

Nice except that 3♥ usually shows a shortness.

So make that:

1♠ 5+♠
2NT Jacoby
3♦ singleton
3♥ control
4♦ void, no ♣ control (and minimum "for someone with a void" as no serious NT was bid)
5♣ XKCB
5♠ 2 no Q
6♠ thanks

Should be, but 4D would be just discouraging I assume a different style applied
