East deals and opens 1♠. What is your auction, and do you want to be in slam?

nonexpert here but I would give up and only get to 4h.


2h overcall...3h
4c=4d
4h=p
----
or

may get to 5h

2h=3h
4c=4d
4s(rkc)=5c(1-4)
5d(Qask)-5h
p

2♥ is obvious the way I play, after that north can bid 2♠ or 4♥, 2♠ might make us play slam.

I would like to play this slam, prettu good on a non diamond lead

Our auction would pinpoint ♦ lead :( so we don't want to be in a slam * :(
(1♠)
2♥ - 2N -
3♦ - 3N -
4♥ AP
2♥ = Intermediate.
2N = Pudding raise to 3♥ or more.
3♦ = Asking/Trial bid.
3N = Game values. One of the six KC (red kings are KCs).

* On reflection, and having read subsequent posts, we would like to be in a slam :)
but we couldn't get there :(

yes i want to be there.

1S
2H 2S
4C 4D
6H.



looking at my hand, i want to hear partner has A of diamonds.

I dont need much of anything for this hand to work after LHO leads a spade. Even with a diamond lead lead J of trump and if RHO ducks i tank for 45 minutes before playing the A dropping stiff Q offside. now unblock spade and take the marked ruffing finesse and pray RHO has 3 clubs

I think I wouldn't reach slam, even if I wanted to. Definitely 2♥ overcall, after which reaching game is easy.

Highly doubt I'd get there but I'd want to be there for sure.

After (1♠) 2♥ 2NT, showing a good 4-card raise, I'd probably just bid 4♥ without thinking about it. However, it's probably right to explore - xxx Kxxx Axx Qxx is barely worth 2NT but makes an excellent slam. Maybe:
(1♠)
2♥ 2NT
3♣ 4♥
4♠ 5♦
5♥ 6♥
or more likely
...   5♦ (dbl)
pass 6♥
I think it's hard to avoid a sequence where RHO can double a diamond cue-bid
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Me too.

(1♠) - 2♥
2♠* - 3♣
3NT - 4♣
4♦ (x) - Pass
4♥ - Pass

*I play 2NT as natural, so 2S includes all heart raises.
