But now you bid an Ogust 2NT. Partner rebids 3♠. What do you bid next? Wow! Partner has a maximum Weak 2-bid and a good trump suit, no doubt headed by the A Q. If he also has the ♥A you might be cold for 7♠. Bid Blackwood if you must, but you don't really need to since partner could not possibly have The ♥A AND ♠ A Q x x x x. Too many points for a Weak 2-bid. So you bid 6♠.  To Summary
