5 or 5 bid slam proposal. After the opponents' overcall
When one of the opponents has overcalled, a jump to level 5 in the major is a slam proposal. It's asking for a stopper in the opponent's suit.
Partner's response :
  • With 2 low cards in the opponent's suit : Pass
  • With a 2nd rank control (singleton or K) : 6 in the agreed major
  • With a 1st rank control (void or Ace) : the partner names the Il nomme la couleur adverse (5 ou 5 ) : the partner will then decide to go to small or grand slam

Exercise E7293 6. Agree with your partner's proposal. You have a stopper in the opponent's suit. But don't go for a grand slam with your 2 low cards. A small slam will be good enough !
 
 
5 or 5 bid slam proposal. No overcall
A level 5 jump raise is a small slam proposal. You go for it when you have 2 high honors in the trump suit. Else, just Pass !
