4 ♥ Pass ???


(1) Your 2 ♥ rebid is game forcing.

Do not Pass with this great East hand.   West does not have a minimum since his 3 ♥ is stronger dan 4 ♥ in that position in the bidding sequence.   6 ♥ should be okay.  

Can your bidding system find out about the ♥K and the ♣K?   In our simple system we can ask for the number of top-honnors (AKQ) in the trump suit with 5♣.   West would answer 5 ♥, meaning 1.   East can now bid 5NT, asking West to bid 7 ♥ if he has extra values considering the bidding so far.  

West had ♠ QJ62 ♥ K104 ♦ 64 ♣ KJ93 .
