Supporting partner, after a suit bid, with 16+ points
Make sure you are happy with the preamble
which precedes the 6-8 point treatment.
You are now definitely in the slam region, and would either mark
time, ask for Aces at once or just shoot 6H or 6S. Note that slam
hands are given a separate treatment here as ploys such
as cue-bidding etc are very important in this context.

After 1H from partner, an
immediate request for aces is probably best. The disappointing
response of 'one ace' can then lead to a sign-off in 5H. |

After 1H from partner, 2C is probably
best with this aceless hand. If partner makes a weak rebid of 2H
or 2D, it is probably better to settle for 4H. |

After 1H from partner, you have slam
aspirations. Will your ace-asking method pin-point which two
aces partner has (most likely
) got ? If not, go straight to 6H. |
