A problem hand

You hold AKQJxx, void, xx, K10xxx and open 1S (4+). Partner bids 1NT (n.f. in the Swedish system) and you rebid 2C showing either a modest 2 suiter (S+C) or a hand just short of a jump shift with any second suit. Partner bids naturally after this call, and bids 2S. I bid 4S which ended the auction. Partner had a "perfecto" holding 9x, 10xxxx, Axx, AQx. 6 made easily. 7C was never in the picture. I'm not sure what he should do after 2C which could be artificial, but do you have a good sequence to 6S or 7C using our methods? Neither was ever bid or even sniffed at in the Pattaya bridge http://www.pattayabridge.com club game.

  1. I would bid 3c instead of 4s. This must surely be forcing as spades have already been agreed. So it shows at least 5-5 and slam interest
