6S, i dont really see a problem here. I don't know what my 5H bid meant, I would have just bid 6S then and just given them a guess. Sorry I can't see defending 6H white/red with this hand, its just not possible though it could be right.

5H was futile. Just bid 6S over4H

6♠ - what I should have bid last time. Now when I pass 7♥, It'll sound like I have a better defensive hand - sigh.

Hi,

6S.

I agree with the others, that 5H was rather pointless,
I would have bid 4S, not 6S, because 4S gives me the
chance to go plus, and I may be able to buy the contract
in 5S or even 4S.
Sure I may miss slam sometimes, but then I may buy the
contract sometimes.

Another point: 4S gives you the chance to double 6H,
asking partner. Do you have defence against 6H?
If not bid 6S, else pass.

With kind regards
Marlowe

Ok, congrats to most of you guys, I didn't want to get the sure -100 (its obvious that partner doesn't have an ace), but 6♥ made doubled when they found ♥K onside.

Just curious:
did the 5♥ bidder intend this as exclusion BW?

agree 100%
but I have seen some (and made some) very strange bids in the interest of using a toy convention.
