- Apportion the blame - no play slam
- Without discussion I would assume 3N was an offer to play and 4m is a natural slam try. It's possible 5H shows this but most would be very hesitant to bomb past Blackwood and cramp the auction.
- Apportion the blame - no play slam
- Which one of those three would you use with a big bal hand and no spade cards?
- Apportion the blame - no play slam
- See my comment above. I think he can still be a big balanced hand for the pass.

- I agree that 6♥ was a bad bid but I think East's 5♣ bid is such a gross overstatement it deserves 99% of the blame. Also by the time the partnership had bid to the five level this was already a bad board.

- Avon Wilsmore's bidding problem: J4 J74 KJT962 T5

- Why am I not that crazy about Bridge anymore these days?
- Bang on from Alan. Some are lucky enough to combine all three.
- Michał Kaleta's bidding problem: A6 AT6 764 87632
- I would have doubled 2♦
