4♠-?

Its a misiry hand. I can't hellp myself.... your planning too late....

Open a misiry 2NT. This is either a ♣ preempt, or A strong two suiter with hearts (known suit) and without ♣

Lets assume they continue to disrupt your clareful auction as before....

2NT- (3♠) - Pass - (4♠
?

Now,
Pass is club preempt
Dbl (since they raised) is strong red two suiter, 3 or 4 losers.
4NT is two losers, needing ♣King (if partner has AK of clubs he can bid grand)
5♣ is red two suiter needing ♣ACE but not king
5♦ is red two suiter, no need for any cover card in clulbs.

So I bid 5♣ and wait for partner to place the contract correctly. HE can ask on the way if spade control is working, but if he has to ask, we don't have good grand slam.


Yes, yes, no use to anyone but me. Sigh.

If I read this scheme correct, I'd love to psych 3♠ against you No way to Dbl with the Major 2-suiter...

And if the partner doesn;t raise, the double is a strong two suiter. And "responders double" is always penatly, because presumably the opening bid was weak preempt. So a psyche might hit a strong responder with the suit you psyched in.

I'd like to see that in action actually, might be fun. If I'm short, partner is most likely to raise. So opener won't have a penalty Dbl but maybe responder will Dbl in between. But if he's not strong enough or too short in our suit, he won't Dbl.

What if responder raises the preempt, can you now expose the psych?

Example:
2NT-(3♠)-4♣-(pass)-?

and

2NT-(3♠)-4♣-(4♠)-?
