Final Comments
In 6 NT, we look for any losers.
0 spades
1 heart
0 diamonds
0 clubs
So me make ouyr small slam.
It will not cost us anything to try the heart finesse, twice.
It works, and we make 13.
Planning
Gerber 4C asking for aces, is used when a no-trump contract is expected. It eliminates any confusion which may be caused with a 5NT bid.
