Proves I got at least five spades which can be useful in a preempt situation. 2 Follows the spade opening, forcing is a bit rich, but I will do it against many except perhaps Kehala and Murray. 3 Any partner that bids hearts is no partner of mine. I woud never jump with three suits covered and he still might get a chance to bid hearts. 4 This is a why not bid, with partner sounding so week, it is not likely to happen normally, but the slam needs one of the partners to be agressive. 5 The hand is golden now, and is worth a bit more vigour. 6 6 diamonds is enough, with two suits in danger of a loser, a grand is probably 75%, exuberance is touched with caution. -- Mike Upmalis (mupmalis@watarts) ihnp4!watmath!watarts!mupmalis Chemistry is useful both in Modern Medicine and the treatment of Steel.
