4♣ was teh big winner as Partner had

♠x
♥xxx
♦AK10xx
♣AKxx

3NT buried the cold slam and the good grand slam. If it wasn't slow at least I might had reopened, but didn't feel like it on a tank.

Transfer ♦ is usually 6+♦. Bidding 4♣ now would be a cuebid for me.

With a hand like this the most common auction is 1NT-3♠ showing 0-1♠, 3♥ and usually at least 5-4 in the minors. Then opener can actually evaluate his hand.

Agree with Nuno. Why not splinter over 1NT, or was that not available, Fluffy?

That would give responder a 4♦ bid over 3NT, instead of 4♣.

Who was it that said, "don't show a single suiter when you don't have a single suiter"?
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
