In this lesson:

Roman KeyCard can be very helpful in accurate slam bidding. Without question, the king and queen of trump are relevant cards.

On the other hand, there is a lot more to this convention than you might think. Whether you use all of it, or only some, if your partnership has not taken the time to discuss non-obvious responses and continuations:

Good luck! You'll need it.

In this lesson, Marty will discuss:

  • - How to show the trump queen and when not to worry about it.
  • - How to proceed after an ambiguous response, such as 0 or 3.
  • - How to respond with a void
  • - The efficient way to ask for king
  • - How to do better than "Last bid suit"
  • - The best way to invite 7
  • - When should you NOT use RKC
  • - Bergen-Cohen RKC rules.
  • - Once you bid them, how you should play them

Here is an example of what Marty will discuss in the lesson:

You are South.
You hold: ♠A762  KJ742  K4  ♣85

What is your call?
Bid 5♠.

This shows two key cards (the ♠A and the K) and either the Q or extra trump length. Any time you know you have a 10-card fit, you don't need the queen of trump. If opener has the Q, he will know that you have 5-card support.
