My apologies in advance for the auction. This sort of thing happens to the non experts, just fumbling along.

Not a diamond control for possible heart slam
No agreements - straight into Blackwood then :(
I am not confident enough to bid 6

Not the hand I expected from South. They got lucky, unless there's something I'm missing in the play of the hand (which is certainly possible).

Not sure why this would even be a consideration; we have 12 points leaving 28 for the others, partner could easily be missing two aces..

I bid 3♠ - partner is allowed to have QJx AJxx QJxxx A where they'd hopefully cooperate with 4♣ but stop in 4♥ after you bid 4♦

But - knowing your game - I should ask if you're playing opposite a beginner who doesn't know about control bidding; if so I'd just bid 4N.

Consideration??


They don't know ace asking see this JB post

I played one session of F2F in years with a partner who had 500 MP few days ago.

I can only go by that experience and JB posted hand example.

How people get all these MPs I have no idea

So did they think the slam was in diamonds

No wonder so many people play safe

Why?
3 keycards? Nope

Why is partner jumping to 3♥ with only 3?

We had agreed to play RKC1430
Dummy comes down, a trump and an ace short, miracles really do happen.
