Hi:

Meckewell plays that a bid of 6 of a suit directly under the agreed major offers a choice of six suit vs 6NT.

Not a common agreement in the BI section.

Regards,
Robert

HI, how would this work on the auction I posted?

But, this requires two non-B/I agreements... I wouldn't worry overly much about this result...chalk it up to bad luck.

Im collecting a lot of these treatments to file away until such a time I can use them or perhaps recall them if they do pop up – thanks for the explanation.

Scoring: IMP

---

West North East South

 -     2NT   Pass  3♣
 Pass  3♥    Pass  6♥
 Pass  Pass  Pass  

6♥ might be able to survive a 5-0 with East having five.

Suppose the opponents lead the spade Ace and out. You try the correct heart King (or Queen) and find out the bad news.

If East also has three spades, you can cash two more spades.

If that person also has two of each minor, you can cash two of each minor, leaving dummy with a high club.

You then play the high diamond. If east follows, he is down to just hearts. You pitch the club. On the club, next, RHO can ruff in with, say, the 6, forcing your 10. You ruff the spade high (RHO must underruff) and lead the heart 9, claiming the last tricks.

If East on the high diamond ditches a spade or club, the same ending results.

If East ruffs low, you need him to have a third club, so you can cash that before leading the heart 9. Whatever he does, you claim.

You probably also have play when West has five hearts, although you may need to guess RHO's exact pattern or something.
