Question: Referring to these hands, is there a point
count in either the opener or the responder hands to automatically think of a slam? If there is a count, then should one or the
other go to 4NT to preclude a close-out at 3NT?
Glenna:
I don’t think either player has enough to consider slam on this hand. 15 and 11
make game, but not usually slam. Sometimes we make an unbiddable slam because of
favorable distribution or lucky placement of the cards.
Generally speaking as to who should move toward slam:
Opener has 17+ points and
responder shows a good hand.
Opener has 22+ and responder
has points
Responder: Has an opening
hand and partner has opened the bidding—should always think about slam
Hope
these ideas help,
Glenna
