I've never considered this, but if you play 1 major - 4N as vanilla 0-4,1,2,3, what is a subsequent 5N? Is it # of kings or specific? Without discussion, I would assume specific.

- Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

1M-4N is commonly played as blackwood not keycard. I would start with 2N jacoby planning on bidding keycard next.
I hear you, but
I have always played that
When partner launches an "out-of-the-blue" 4NT after a suit bid (when is clearly not quantitative)
We still play rkc, and treat the last natural bid as the
Trump suit for now, including showing K & Q.
Unless a suit has been agreed upon.
Simplistic? Perhaps.
Is this the Expert way? Probably not.
Do I have any really well established partnerships at this time that have discussed more intricate ways? No.
Does it work? So far, so good.
Can I count to 13? No!

2NT Jacoby is my bid. The only important thing here is to show partner what is the trump. I dont understand the 2♦ bidders, because the opps will/can disturbed our bidding.

I don´t understand these "I don´t understand" statements.
Obviously any sequence has its flaws.
2 Diamond is the most easiest to disturb.
2 NT with unbalanced hands is sometimes not too easy to handle and surely an invitation to disturb you with a 3 Spade bid.
Splinters may show the "wrong" splinter for pd to get excited and surely 3 Spade will lead to some lead directing doubles and bids too.
4 NT is plain Blackwood for many and you must hope that pd does not show 2 Aces...
In the actual hand, the slam was missed, because one player forgot about dopi. It was not missed because of the opponents bidding.
