Partner's responses to the 4NT ace-asking bid are made in step-wise fashion: 5 ♣ to indicate 0 or 4 aces; 5 ♦ to indicate 1 ace; 5 ♥ to indicate 2 aces; 5 ♠ to indicate 3 aces; When responding, do not count a void as an ace. Generally, 4NT is ace-asking when your side has bid a suit. There are exceptions:
A mnemonic for a variant response structure to the Roman Key Card Blackwood convention. It represents "1 or 4" and "3 or 0", meaning that the lowest step response (5 ♣) to the 4NT key card asking bid shows responder has one or four keycards and the next step (5 ♦) shows three or zero. 1RF One round force. 2-under preempts
Byzantine Blackwood is a bidding convention in the game of bridge. Devised by Jack Marx , it is a complex version of the Blackwood convention (by which a four notrump (4NT) call asks about partner 's honor card holdings). [ 1 ]

A further relay bid may follow to inquire about the number of kings held. Gerber is used primarily after notrump openings, responses, and rebids, making it a complement to Blackwood rather than a replacement.
Bidding 4 or 5 of the minor is preemptive and shows 6–9 points with 6-card support and at least 1 singleton or void in a side suit. When responder cannot support partner's bid, the response is 1 NT, to show a bad fit and no more than 9 points (i.e. denying ability to raise or bid a new suit).
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — After seven seconds: Chicago 1, Florida 0. Just like that, Landon Slaggert got himself a piece of Blackhawks history. Slaggert scored seven seconds into Chicago's game at ...
3 ♦ or higher, etc. on up the line. With ace-showing responses, the responder bids the suit of the Ace, 2NT with two or more kings, and 2 ♦ with a king or less. With (unlikely) 2 aces, the responder bids 3 ♥. As a corollary, subsequent Blackwood by the opener asks for kings rather than aces.
