Worked a lot the last 2 years desinfection/cleaning in industrial health care laundromat (pre-covid) and elderly residences + prison (infected by covid). I also spent 2 1/2 months in US mostly to avoid winter and for poker. Ironically its was because of a small success in bridge that ive took a break from bridge, we won free entries and some $$ to cover expenses to go to the LV national and there me and my partner hit the poker tables every day. In short for the last year I didnt play bridge at all and rarely went on the bridge forums but now my interest for bridge is making a little comeback.

Of all the "weird" stuff I teach to my tough students the "crazy train" (similar to polish end signal) is what give them most bang for bucks. I very highly recommend to adopt/design a similar method for your expert partnerships. You can use denial or show cuebid it doesnt matter. Even expert grossly underestimate how many imps they lose because of slam guessing at the 5/6 level. Any expert know how to ask for kings for small vs grand but very few of them are able to do it at a level lower and being able to locate all the Q for 6 or 7 decisions.

Maybe I already wrote a post about it here but i wasnt able to find it in the search.

If you have hands where you went overboard or miss slams because you didnt know about side K/Q you can post links ill do my best to show how my method might bring solution for those cases.

It's a very nice idea.
