Notes when South is Dealer:
- P18, P0: 18 HCP, bid your longest suit.
- P1: 5-card suit but only 7 HCP.
- 5-13 points and a 4+ card suit. Better to change suit than show support immediately.
- P2, P17: With a 6-card suit and 6 HCP, East could have opened 2♣, but he is far too weak to overcall South's strong 3-level bid.
- If balanced with all unbid suits stopped, South could have bid 3NT. Disliking his singleton in North's suit, he bids his other 4+ card suit instead.
- North likes his singleton club opposite South's 4+ card suit, and shows slam interest with a simple Blackwood bid.
- South shows two aces.
- With one ace missing but around 12 points, North takes a punt on the slam.
