You hold:

---

Auction goes 1♦ - 1♠ - 2♥ - 4♠

Do you make a try for slam and if so what?

[MickyB]

Pass, if pard was interested in slam opposite this he could have started with 2♠ (or 3♠ if 2♠ is/might be NF)

[Fluffy]

On my style 2♠ is forcing, so on this auction I'd have to pray to make 4♠ because 2 or 3 spade losers is very likelly.

[han]

I have never encountered this auction, partner should try not to take up so much room when we have reversed. Hence 4S should be very clearly defined, I would say quite a minimal hand with 7 spades, something like QJ10xxxx Qxx x xx

Note that even KQJxxxx Qx xx xx makes it a very poor slam, and that hand is far too good. So pass is clear imo.

Hi,

simple answer first

#1 If you make a try, you just have 4NT, at least you will
learn how good the spade suit is.

#2 If you do not play WJS (ok, this is the B/I section, but WJS is still an option),
you should pass, partner is broke, he could have bid 3S, which would
have been forcing and shown a 6 card suit.
If you play WJS, you should move on.

With kind regards
Marlowe

Glp. (He might need it in 4♠.)

What hand does pd have for 4S? I assume something like KQJ8xx and out. With a decent 6 card suit and slam interest he would bid 3S. With a minimum hand and a 6 card suit he would rebid 2S.

I therefore pass.

If you interpret 4S differently you might push on.

I interpret 4♠ differently (se Han's post above), but wouldn't dream of pushing on. I hope (believe) partner can make 4♠.
