♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
Your partner's 2NT opener is 20-21 points and the 3♣ bid is Stayman. Decide what you would say next, then click on BID above. You know of 33 points and you know of an 8-card ♥ fit. The math tells you that 6♥ should be a good slam but you might as well check Key-Cards, that's why the convention was invented. So you bid 4NT and partner answers 5♥. What do you say? |

♠ K Q J ♥ A 10 7 6 ♦ A Q J ♣ Q J 9 |
Your partner's 2NT opener is 20-21 points and the 3♣ bid is Stayman. Decide what you would say next, then click on BID above. You know of 33 points and you know of an 8-card ♥ fit. The math tells you that 6♥ should be a good slam but you might as well check Key-Cards, that's why the convention was invented. So you bid 4NT and partner answers 5♥. What do you say? You say "Darn!" You are missing just one Key-Card, but you are also missing the trump Queen. And with partner holding only a 4-card suit that Queen might well win a trick. Knowing that at best the slam will depend on a trump finesse you pass 5♥. Deal 9 |
