An unbelievably handsome hand to cap the girls night in.
Joyce to my left dealt, who has 12 hcp, bid 1♥️. My partner passed. Linda paused and then said, 4N. She has 26 hcp: 4 aces, 2 K+J and 1Q.
Me? A lonesome ♦️J. So I passed, reluctantly.
Her partner Joyce, looking pleased, 5N.
My partner Barb said cheerfully, pass, she was blessed with a ♥️J.
After I led with my only prized possession and the dummy laid down her hand, Linda said, “let’s not to play …” ha ha ha… no point, indeed.
… asking for aces 4NT & kings 5NT: ♣️4 or none,♦️1, ♥️2, ♠️3 kings.
Ira: Correct response to 4N (asking for aces) sb 5C (all or none); next bid sb 5N (asking for kings since they have all the aces) correct response sb 6H (2 kings) then 7N
… 7N is the proper bid.
