followups after 1S 2H

[chuck and teril swart]

Section C-12 in KSU states that after 1S 2H,

3H is non-forcing

4H is not slam oriented with 15-17

4m shows a void and heart support

My question is: How do you show a slam oriented hand with heart support and how do you distinguish these hands from strong, game going hands without heart support.

Here are some examples, which are not intended to be all-inclusive.

1. AKQ83

    Q42

   64

   A54

2a.   AKJ32

        2

        432

        AKQ2

2b    AKJ32

        43

        32

        AKQ2

2c     AKJ32

         43

          Q2

         AKQ2

Presumably all these auctions would start 1S  2H, 3C (If these hands don't meet your standards, then make appropriate changes without a solid diamond stop.)

Then would 3H by responder show 6 hearts? If so, then 3d would be waiting and not necessarily natural.  If not, then 3d should show something in diamonds.

At the table we held hand 1 and got to a good 6H slam opposite

J6

AKJ953

K2

K83

But there was some concern that opener had some form of hand 2.

The easiest way to handle this is with transfers after 1S 2H

3C = diamonds (extras or 5-5)

3D = heart raise

3H = clubs, GF

Also, after 1S 2H 3H showing clubs, it would be reasonable for responder's 4D to be a heart rebid.

That is to say, 4H is to play while 4D shows 6+ hearts with doubt about strain or level
