I followup with 6NT.

Pard should be showing semi-solid to solid diamonds. I am not going to tho bank on pard holding A, and AKQ. Pard should convert to 7 if he has this hand.

Meh, I doubt that getting the "I have solid trumps" message across is worth wasting the entire level of bidding space when partner has shown a balanced hand. It's usually much more important when partner is unbalanced.


I agree that maybe using 4 for something else than solid diamonds is better option. I have no opinion. I don't like keycard but only because it would require writing fat section in system notes on what bid is keycard in what sequence. I don't deny it might theoretically superior way to play.

4D shows a solid suit and asks for cues in every version of Precision I have ever played and with every partner with whom I have ever played. Hence 4H is not kickback for us, but a cue bid.

I agree.

This hand was sent to me by my old club partner and back in the day that is certainly how we would have interpretted the sequence.
2 = 8+ HCP and 5+
2NT = 16-19 in our system (16-18 otherwise)
4 = solid suit (7/8+) headed by AKQ
4 would show first round control (hoping to hear 5)

I just wanted to see how some of our modern theorists would approach it. :)

4 - Kickback.

Well, I never heard of Turbo, so...

What is this Turbo thing?
