Online pickup partner, self-rated advanced, and you have this sequence:

Scoring: IMP

1♣-(3♥)-4♠-(p),
?


Do you explore for slam? If so, how do you move?

Pass
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Pass

I'd make a slam move this exact same way. :P

5♥, I'll pass 5♠ but can persuade them not to lead hearts if pd goes to 6...

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

If playing with a pick-up partner is making a difference, would you make a move with a regular partner?

I'd pass with a competent partner.

With a BBO pickup though, I would just bid 6♠.

With a reasonable player, something like a 3♠ preempt.

With a BBO pickup, ♠AJxxxxx ♥x ♦Ax ♣Qxx.

That's pretty good. Partner actually had:



making the 5 spade call the winner (if you play that it asks for a heart control). I was wondering if it was reasonable to expect 5 level safety opposite that bidding, though.

no... he surely denied such a control rich hand with his 4 Spade bid.

I had played him for AJxxxx,xx,xx,xx.

4NT, but Pass is finde as well.

With my regular partner 4S would be a fit jump,
he has a forcing 3S bid available.

Assuming it is a fit jump, I surely would make a
move, most likely 5S, which would be a quantitaive
try.
