- Why shouldn't partner assume you don't have a predicament? Suppose
- you hold AQxxx/x/xxx/Axxx, what would you bid? I think there is a
- good case for 4C (adjust the strength if you disagree) showing 1st
- round control and interest in a spade slam. How about just admiting
- that 2/1 can't reach 6C on these hands?
