Marston - Burgess had the agreement that after a strong 1C opening by their side, and the opps bid to the 5 level at any time, pass was forcing.

I see a similar reference to FP being on when the opps bid to the 5 level on the first round on the CC of Marston-Thomson from 2005 but no reference to what double might be besides penalty.

I would also have bid 6S as my friend did. Rho got you. He had Qxx Axxx x xxxxx
Pd held
AKJ9xxx x KQx Kx
I don't know if I like 3S. 2 might be enough, I feel.


Did anyone suggest 5NT to find the best slam?, I will be right with my -300 :P

Humor. In case someone missed the joke, Fluffy himself suggested it way back at the beginning. But, I still can't imagine pick-a-slam being applicable when partner has already announced in clear terms what he believes trumps should be.
