♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
Your partner's 3♥ is a limit-raise, 11-12 points with ♥ support. Decide what you would say next, then click on BID above. What you want to know is whether partner holds the ♠A. If you bid 4NT and he shows two Key-Cards all will be well, you will know they are the two missing Aces. But if he shows just 1 Key-Card you will be in the soup since you can't tell if that Key-Card is the useful ♠A or the practically useless ♦A. So you don't use RKCB, you use control-showing and bid 4♣. Partner says 4♥. What do you bid next? |

You may not think that helps but it does since now you can bid RKCB. You bid 4NT and he answers 5♣. What is your next bid? |
