  1. North has 4 losers, south has shown 3+ support and weak. Should North make a slam try (4♦ would be a splinter)?

  2. North should surely try for a slam in the above sequence.

    At our table East opened a frisky 2H after which it is difficult for North to do anything but bid 4S, unless you have a fancy way of showing such a powerful hand. A double is only likely to elicit 3D from South, which gets you back where you started. An alternative I suppose is to jump to 5S directly.

  3. A 2H bid by East would be frisky - it was West of course that made that bid.
