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.
