2h and 2S both showed extra values;
The hand provoked some discussion, as 6N is ice cold.
Opener: you should try 4C instead of 3N; I showed extras.
Responder: You have about a king and queen more than you showed. It must be safe for you to bid 4C. Since you didnt bid 3C, this must show
second round control . . .
So- who should be moving this hand toward slam? And how should he do it?
(At the other table, the opps had a RKC misunderstanding and reached 7N - thinking they had a slam swing to compensate for, they broke discipline and bid to a couple of hopeless games, resulting in a blitz.)
Once responder has shown better than a limit hand and a club stopper, then opener's hand is worth 19 points. 19 points opposite an opener is worth a slam -- in this case, 6C.
