Our auction deserved its luck. MisIry would have been...
3D - 3H
3S - 4H
4N - 5C
5S - 6S
Pass
4H = denial showing no Heart, but promising a club
4N = saying only club ACE is useful
5C = I have ace, are you missing any queens.
5S = Missing no queens, but extra values. Usually AQ of hearts, so one loser might disappear. Very control rich.
6S = My AK of clubs full two covers in this case. No need for hook in hearts
The second one was a post on rgb where people are discussing how lucky EW were to avoid 6S, they should be in 6D :-)
Always on the lookout for MisIry hands where people had trouble with standard methods, here is one from rgb. The poster got to 5S, his opponents a whooping 4D. Of course, the best spot lookng at the cards is 6D. Is that attainable?

Simple auction
3C 3D
3S 6D
hope partner passes. 6D is undefined, and so should be to play.
Technical correct aution
3C 3N
3S 5H
5S 6D
Pass
*3NT = You know partner has misIry hand,bid 3NT so D can become possible contract.
*4C = spade/club two suiter. 3/4 losre. No surprise.
*5H = is not to play, (4D would be to play, btw) This promise AK A om red suits either way,
*5S is something wasted (so 65 in the blacks) or Kx x in the reds.
*6D to play (no ruffing cover needed with AK A. And I started with 3NT
Undertry auction
3C 3NT
4C 5D
5H 6D
Pass
Where
*5D shows heart Ace and Ace or king of diamonds (implies no AK in either red).
*5H ask if red thing in diamonds is Ace? Since DK is not working, partner has one diamonds at most, and may have no diamonds and xx in hearts.
*6D again can not be how about third round control, since if you partner doesn't care if you ahve second.
Thoughful (and best) auction.
3C 3NT
4C 4H
4S 4N
5C 6D
Pass
Where
*4H = denial in hearts despite holding the ace (hehehe)
*4S = two small hearts, or diamond cover no good.
*4NT = Still slamming, tell me more, how about queens?
*5C = I have not heart cover, we lose two quick tricks there, signoff.
*6D Opener has xx in hearts, and is missing spade ACE. There are three of his losers. If he has small diamond that is all of them so his spades and clubs are solid. With a diamond void, he has either KQ of spades or AKQ of clubs, and remember, on this auction, 3Loser might be the limit.
Remember getting into the transfer suit requires (usually) you start with 3NT... the first auction above is an exception.
