Deal 20	♠ A K 4 2 ♥ A K J 5 3 ♦ J 7 2 ♣ 10		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 1♥ pass 2♥ pass 3♦ pass 4♥ pass pass pass     The bidding has been as shown. What do you bid? Your only reasonable response is 2♥. Partner now bids 3♦. What do you say? With 8 points you are right in the middle of the 6-10 points you promised. So you could either accept partner's invitation or decline it. BUT, he said you should particularly look at any Help you could provide in ♦s. Since you have lots of good stuff in that suit you upgrade your 8 points and bid 4♥. LESSON
