The time has come for the dreaded psychic exclusion RKCB in spades ...

Of course, playing against forum posters PK would bid exclusion RKCB in diamonds.

Might as well bid 7♥ this may be a 5 or 7 hand on the lead so go for the gusto. On non-spade lead have 13 tricks.


That's a bit more risky. Against 7 LHO is likely to start with the spade ace if he has it. It might not be so against 6. Besides, opener can have a singleton spade, making 6 cold and 7 a lead gamble.

partner opens 2♥ vulnerable in first seat, passed to hero with:
♠QJxx ♥KQxx ♦void ♣AKQJx

This partner has the heart ace always in this spot.
new suits are forcing, jump in a new suit I have no clue.
we play 2NT as feature asking looking for a side ace or king.
cue bidding style is to bid 1st and 2nd round controls (A,K,singleton,void), but I don't know how to set trumps and initiate cuebidding here.

What is your method for finding 2nd round control in spades?

If you bid 2NT feature asking, partner answers 3H.


That seems straightforward enough to me. 3H denies the ace or king of spades. I bid 4H, finis.
