♦: AKT7
♣: K42
First hand opens the bidding...
(0314 w/ splinter used)
1♥-3♠*
4♣*-4♦*
4N-5♦
5♥-??
(1430 w/ splinter used)
1♥-3♠*
4♣*-4♦*
4N-5♣
5♦/♥-??
Can we even really ask about the Q? What if we are missing 2 side aces?
(any A? w/ 2/1 GF used rather than a splinter)
1♥-2♦
3♦-3♥
3♠*-4♣*
4N-??
Should the K of ♦ be a key?
Should we avoid using RKC and continue control bidding in all?

No, because we miss 2 keycards.

More thinking let's say we knew which key partner has, the other ace and QJxxx of H. We are playing at a local club of varying skill levels. Do we want to take the slightly above 50% slam try?

Only if we are the weakest pair in the field. So call that a "maybe".
