Sure.

Make the Ace the King, and it becomes a mood point.
In this case, most likely transfer, and if p super accepts,
that is fine.

If there was a poll to go along with this question, it would have been the rare unanimous version. :unsure:
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Well, let's see.

I suppose you might have a slam, but I'd probably settle for game too.

BTW, to tie this up, I ofcourse bid game (Via 3!C-3!H-4!H), and we were off one. Just checking the 'ole range finder to make sure this is as clear cut as I thought it was at the time.

Yeah it's clear, and when partner has a 4-card major I think the odds of making game are quite good. I'll do a quick simulation.

Smolen is practically unheard of by the majority of players in the UK.

Forum readers excepted, naturally.

or unless you are playing the popular puppet stayman over 2N, in which case Smolen is more complicated.
