I'll transfer to ♣ (2♠) and rebid 3♠ to show singleton ♠ and GF. After that I'll abide by partner's decision.

So you chose the last option given in the poll. I didn't invite you to choose your own methods.

I know you don't like this sugestions, but it is not like you have any rights by posting nor anything.

BTW, I bet your bethods don't let you play 2♣ or 2♦, so IMO they are wrong


But any form of scoring or methods this is 3NT.

Inviting 3♣ may seem like the value bid, but what is the point in inviting if partner does not know when to accept? Let's stick together on this one, Free

At the very least he can accept on AKx of clubs with 18 HCP and reject on a 4 trip minimum. He knows we know he has 1 top club honor. Since some people are saying signoff and some people are saying GF then this has to be close to right.

Yes, I should play methods that let me play in 2♣.

I vote for the last option showing 1-3 in the majors with clubs longer than diamonds. If we are not going to use it on this hand (assuming we are forcing to game) then why even play the convention?

Because we might use it on hands that look more like 5m?

I fail to see why that is not this hand.

Axx Axx ATxx KJx (note spades are stopped) where do you want to play?

Well, if you tell me that partner has 4 keycards for clubs, then I will agree to play 5♣. Otherwise, I think it is just extremely unlikely that 5♣ is the right contract, given how many slow honors we have. (But I am only inviting anyway.)

Huh? I voted for the last option, of course. There was no indication on how you showed that hand in your methods, so I told how to accomplish the task in my methods.
