Mikeh's agreement here is that 4NT is RKCB over 4m and 2 places over 4M and that seems to be precisely what you would like to be playing. Is that really too much more of an exception than opening 1M with 5+ and 1m with 3+? I think you are experienced enough to handle it Phil! B-)


Wel Zel I do have these entities called partners...:)

Cyber if it does the i will transfer to it so 6c is the clear bid from south no risk as spades can be bid over 6c. Sry mate at this level its a guess so ask for info with 5hts how can 6c be wrong?


Can't understand what you're saying at all.

Whatever 4nt is, I would bid 5N as Stephen grand slam forcing to let opener pick up a minor. It is not difficult to reach 7♣.

I like 5♥, too. IIRC in one of the bridge world MSCs they argued that it should be a try for grand with a cue in the suit, which sounds to me like the N hand. It seems too restrictive for it to agree spades, esp if 4N would be RKCB.
The "4♥ is a transfer to 4♠" award goes to Jinksy - PhilKing

I'd consider a forcing bid showing both minors first (sort of what artificial 5NT or Dbl does) and raise 6♣ to 7♣ / pass partner 6♦.

If cannot would had called a forcing 5♦ and raise 6♣ to 7♣ or correct to 6♣ if pard give me smth else.

What are you going to do over 5♠ or 6♠ ?

While it doesn't properly agree spades, I think it shows >1.
