Scoring: IMP

(Pass) - 3♥ - (Pass) - ?


1. Do you agree with your initial double?

2. Do you take the push now?

I thought about slam after 3 Heart, but that may be an overbid.

Passing? Not in my wildest dreams.

I challenge you to construct a hand where slam makes. I'm sure they exist, but they will involve almost no wastage in the minors.

4♥ may be clear. But I think you're barking mad to think slam.

Sometimes I just try to write my thoughts in a funny way and sometimes it was just a try.
I just wanted to pointed out that I believe that we will more often take 11 or 12 tricks after this start then nine, so passing is no option.

And for your challenge:
x, KQxx, AKxxxx,Ax is a slam and worth a jump to 3 HEart after my double? (okay the shape it is much closer to 4 Heart) (and no wastage in the minors...)
Kind Regards

♠A9 ♥Kxxx ♦AKxx ♦Axx

This has play, but it is very strong.

Nah! Just 4.

And you always can call the TD if the slam goes
down, requesting a redeal.

I agree with the double. Light on HCP but you can't pass this.

4H is clear now.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
