It's matchpoints, what's your call?
thanks.

Hi,

I am not going to force to slam, but passing it out, seems also wrong.

So I would make a slam try.

This means 4NT is out, it is either 4S (hopefully a cue - 4H should set the suit,
even, if 4S the round before was not possible) or 5H.
4S has the adv., that p can ask for KCs, so if you have the choice, 4S is better,
but 5H should at least deny the minor suit Aces, so p will assume, that you have
the Ace of spades.

With kind regards
Marlowe

Pass. Pard's typical hand in my book would be

AKJxxxx
Axx
xx

Of course, some might be reading other books

do you have a way to show a "good" 4M preempt in your system? If you do then maybe you should consider a move at these colours. Afterall, a normal preempt is quite good sencond vul vs not, a good pre-empt should be better and 1h-4h better still.

If you do not have a way to show a good 4M bid, then I would pass. Best you can hope for is AK 8th with an ace and maybe a q, either way it is pretty unlikely that slam is better than a finesse, though may need a good lead to beat it if he has the k of spades. I guess its just possible that partner has 1d ks ak 8th and you can guess to bid 6nt, but seems tough to find out.

As usual I agree with whereagles.

I was pretty sure I would pass when I saw the thread title and I was right
