On a rush...

Had a FUN run of cards last night sitting south... Nothing much to the play here - all the contracts were (obviously) cold as ice. However, I'd be interested in any feedback on bidding.

Regardless, it was a fun three boards in a row... Board 1:

♠ J ♥ AJ62 ♦ AKQJ3 ♣ Q74

♠ KQ873 ♥ KQ43 ♦ ♣ AK63

West	North	East	South
			1♠
p	2♦	p	2♥
p	4NT	p	5♠
p	6♥	p	p
p

Board 2 was a more interesting auction:

♠ AK93 ♥ QJ753 ♦ AKT8 ♣

♠ JT87 ♥ A84 ♦ Q6 ♣ J987

West	North	East	South
	1♥	2	2
3♣	4♣	p	4♥
p	6♥	p	p
p

I assumed that 4C was a void or stiff ace, but evaluating my hand I still didn't think I had enough to bid slam directly. Using the 30 point deck was an idea that didn't occur to me over the table... It would've yielded a calculation something like this:

• 17pts+ in partner's hand
• plus 7pts in mine outside of ♣s
• equals 24... 30-24=6, or 1.5 tricks in outside suits.

Since I thought we had clubs covered, there was no likely outside loser... So we're on a finesse. I guess I could've pushed?

Third board:

♠ A ♥ AK93 ♦ 54 ♣ AQ9532

♠ J9863 ♥ 862 ♦ AKT ♣ K4

West	North	East	South
	1♣	p	1♠
p	2♥	p	3♠
p	4♣	p	5♣
p	6♣

4♣ didn't seem to indicate particular slam interest to me, but I figured we were at least game force, so might as well play 5♣. Thankfully, partner took the push...

If anyone's here, I'd appreciate bidding thoughts... Like I said, trying to learn.
