Mark:
Yes! If anything, that, kind of conservative. Some people
would be tempted to find out if W has the A of hearts, even though it's
extremely unlikely. Top experts use a convention known as Exclusion Blackwood.
You bid 5 Diamonds to ask partner to show aces outside the diamond suit.
If they show 1, obviously it's the A of hearts and you bid 7 spades and claim.
Even with experts, that bid is an accident in the making. You would find
yourself playing 5 diamonds going down a bundle. As it is, E got doubled in an
ice cold slam. You don't want to be greedy and redouble. If the opponents
believe you and take a non- vulnerable save at the 7 level, you won't even get
the value of a vulnerable game. I think a direct 6 spade bid is simple and
perfect.
