♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
This is a big hand. But not quite enough to open 2♣. So you open 1♥ and partner responds 3♥. Now what? You might bid 4♦ as a slam try, but it is probably just as well to go ahead and ask for Aces. So you bid 4NT and partner owns up to holding 2 Aces. What is your next bid? |

This is a big hand. But not quite enough to open 2♣. So you open 1♥ and partner responds 3♥. Now what? You might bid 4♦ as a slam try, but it is probably just as well to go ahead and ask for Aces. So you bid 4NT and partner owns up to holding 2 Aces. What is your next bid? You have all the Aces but don't go crazy. Partner only has 11-12 points so don't think too Grand! Bid 6♥. Deal 12 |
