All white at Swiss teams, playing 2/1 with a weak nt with a good partner but in an unpracticed and unfamiliar partnership you have the following:



Your call? And what is partner's hand.

agree with Wayne, got 2 more keycards than expected and only 1 of them will be useless so must raise, I´d try 6♠ pick a grand.

Pard has some 55 or 65. That 2NT was a ridiculous bid, caused by system insufficiencies, which precipitated this follow-up.

Anyway, now 6D. Who knows, it might make.

You need a lot of tens.

B-) P must have something for their 6♣ bid and they don't have many aces. True, a 5-1 ♥ break is probably more likely than an opening ruff and if P doesn't have ♥10 we may be able to ruff one to make sure they're good, but it may put strain on the ♣s. The other thing is the few extra IMPs for 7NT vs 7♣. By mentioning that, I'm accepting that 7♣ may be safer after all ;)

Partner's actual hand on this was:

x
KQxx
x
AJT9xxx

so 7nt is cold.

Our team mates on these hands continued 6♦ over 6♣, which was corrected to 6♥ which they played on their 4-2 fit. Hearts were 4-3 and clubs not 4-0 so they made all 13 tricks. This won 2 imps opposite our opponents who bid:

2nt - 3♣(puppet)
3nt - 4♣(key card gerber)
4♥ (3 As) - 5♣ (count of kings)
5♥ (1 K) - 6♣

and also made 13 tricks.
