Is the grand slam a good one? My understanding is that with grand slams, break even point is reached if the slam will make about 70% of the time, but seven outstanding cards will only break 4-3 about 62% of the time. In practice, I think the slam will also fail when East has three diamonds and three spades.
Difficult to follow as the videos are not numbered. I'm looking at Splinter Bids and it refers to lesson 19 but of course, the videos are not numbered in sequence!
That is not advised. If dummy has a splinter and you have like a 4-card in the splintered suit you want to have enough trump cards in dummy to ruff them. With 3-card support you might run the risk of the defenders playing trumps to remove them from the dummy, creating more losers in your hand.
Excellent videos by Andrew Robson! So ... The comment made by Andrew was "any jump to game level is to play." What is the contract "To Play" in 1S-2C-4H? Is the contract "to play" 4H or 4S? Is the original bidder supposed to bid 4S or leave 4H alone?
Hi Nandini, in a contested auction (one where both sides have bid) a jump to game is played as to play. I the sequence 1S - (2C*) -4H. This is to play in 4H. *(2C bid by the opponnents)
Everything about splinter bids in just 12 minutes! Fantastic!
Great video! Thank you. :)

Excellent ! Tky
Can we use splinter with 3 cards support?

1S-2C-4H --> This must be the signal to the partner to bid 4S to play ... I think. Someone please confirm.
