However, with such great ♠ support and an outside doubleton your hand now revalues to 18 points - more than an opening 1NT. You indicate this with a jump to 3♠. This is called a "Super-Accept". Partner now bids 4NT. What do you answer?

Deal 5   6♠ OL: ♣10	♠ K J 8 5 3 ♥ A J 4 2 ♦ 5 ♣ A 6 4		Loser List: ♠ = 0 : ♥ = 0 : ♦ = 1 : ♣ = 1 :: Total = 2 Since the ♦ loser is a sure thing you will need to find somewhere to discard a ♣. There are three possibilities: Finesse West for the ♥Q. (50% chance) Try to drop the ♥Q by ruffing the third round. (also about 50%) Establish a ♦ honor. (100% certain)  NEXT

(100% certain) First pull trumps, ending in dummy. It takes two rounds. Next play the ♦5 toward your ♦Q. West wins this and plays another ♣. Win the ♣, come to your hand with the ♥K, then play your good ♦Q, discarding dummy's losing ♣. You will need to ruff two ♥s in your hand, but the rest of the tricks are yours.
