Your hand is looking better and better. You already gave a positive response so you know you are forced to game. It is better to keep the bidding low to allow more investigating room so you bid 3♠.
Partner bids 4NT. What is your response?

Partner bids 4NT. What is your response?


With ♠s agreed as trumps you have two Key-Cards, the ♠K and the A. With no trump Queen you respond 5.
Partner now says 5NT. What do you reply?

Partner now says 5NT. What do you reply?


Partner is asking for Kings and you have just 1, the K. Remember, the ♠K is not a King, it is a Key-Card which you have already counted.
So you bid 6. Partner counts 13 tricks and bids 7NT.
