"All Stars" TM on BBO. Random partner, no agreements besides 2/1 vanilla




You decide to start with 2NT, for better or for worse. Now what?

I think 5♥ is pretty clear. We need the ♣K + ♠A for 7.

5♥

If partner can show the ♠A I'll try 7m

Maybe a dumb question but what is 4NT? That may influence my action.

Grand slam was cold. I was mostly curious how to get there. 5♥ would have done the trick.

I would bid 5 ♥ which shows the ♥ control and forces us to slam. Partner took a free bid over 4 ♥, so should have values. By showing the control, I'm implying holding a huge hand. It's one of those momentum auctions -- if you have enough to take a free bid, I have enough to force to slam. Also, it may crucial for partner to know about the ♥ control for any further action.
