2H (Kokish)
2S (not 4441 or some other holdings)
3S (5H/4S)
4C (agrees/flags hearts, better than minimum)
Minimum is two queens or one king. So, the minimum for 4C is at least
this hand -- King, Queen, and 4-card support with a doubleton.
4D (Last Train -- check before embarking)
4H (minimal non-minimum)
4NT (RKCB)
5C (one)
5D (Queen or extra length?)
5H (nope)
5S (interest in a grand -- any honor in spades, or any Kings?)
5NT (nope, and no other Kings)
6D (Last Train -- bypass clubs_
Responder should expect that Opener is not interested in slow club
values (did not bid 6C). Slow diamond values might be of interest.
This sounds like AK in diamonds, Ax in clubs, of course, or AKx in
diamonds, stiff club A. Either way, Opener must have 4S/5H, with AKxx
in spades. This is enough to accept.
2D (GF, no positive response alternatives)
If 2D is game forcing why do you need kokish in the first place when
2C-2D-2NT would be forcing and could encompass a wide range?
2S (not 4441 or some other holdings)
Is this Kokish? My understanding is that 2S is a puppet in kokish bid
with few exceptions.
4C (agrees/flags hearts, better than minimum).
What do you do with clubs, when opener can easily have three of them?
Why is this better than minimum when 2D promised values and was game
forcing?
