we bid 6♠ finally with 1C-1H-1S-2D-2N-3S-4D-4H-4N-5S-6S...



But I dont think this is standard, and good.

How should we bid this 7 card Major slam playing 4th suit Forcing to Game?

The question is not how - but rather, if.

6♠ is a reasonable contract. There are 11 obvious tricks available, and several plays for a 12th, but I don't know that I would say that slam is odds-on. Probably in the 50% region.

i made the slam...its not too difficult.

But what i wanna ask is how to bid this slam in a good and standard way...

The 3S bid with 3 cards looked weird to me, somehow.

I think the auction you perpetrated looks quite reasonable.

Same here.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
