This hand came to my RHO, 2♥ was weak ♥, 4♦=strong ♦+♠ hand. IMPS.

Question 1 = Do you play 4♦ forcing to 4♠/5♦ or is partner allowed to pass 4♦ ?

Question 2 = Assume your agreement is forcing, so partner didn't have the option to pass, what would you bid over 4♠ ?

Whichever. This hand is a monster. AK +AK +AK +H-single.
What bid focusses on S:Q +/- HA?
I guess 5H, then 6S.

nice 4N bid, great convention don't you think?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

In my partnerships, 4♦ is forcing.

As for the hand, I'll pay to partner having his usual dreck, and run (keycard) easley up the flagpole.

#1: Partner is not allowed to pass, but if opponents bid, a force is not set up.
#2: 5♥, raising 5♠ to 6. (We migth still belong in diamonds.)

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

I also play 4D as forcing. I would make another try over 4S, blackwood seems to get the job done best.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

The problem could be a hand like this from partner



The way my luck goes when deciding that kinda hands, even that ♦ jack is too generous :P
