5NT, I hope that it is right.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

yes give up on grands
If 5 NT shows this hand, this is fine too, but I am not sure if pd will understand this. But he surely will understand 4 NT followed by 6 in his minor.
Kind Regards

5NT.
With ♣A and ♦K partner will definitely bid the grand. I hope he won't with only one of them.....

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

as is 4 NT followed by a raise, isn´t it?
After all you bid slam opposite a possible non fitting yarb.
So pd with xxx,xxxx,Kx,Axxx will at least think about 7 Club
after the bidding .... 4 NT 5 ♣ 6 ♣
Kind Regards

4NT followed by 5NT should show a preference for the minor that partner did not bid imo.
Over my 5NT partner might bid 7 with only the club ace, but then we might still make 7.

I'm in the 4NT and raise boat too here. I think 5NT is too anti-positional here and leads to easier sacs (heck they may have six of a major on this construction for all I know!)

Can't you make a distinction between these auctions? I mean, 5NT is slower, so should show an even stronger hand.

But if opps compete to the 5-level, 6m may be a competitive bid.
It would be nice to be able to distinguish between a 6m-bid with first-round control in both major suit, and a 6m-bid without. Then again, this is probably not on the top-ten wishlist for gadgets to add to our vanilla bidding system
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
