Again you bid 2♣ This time partner says 2♦. What do you bid now? You need to describe your hand clearly to partner with this bid. You want to show a game-forcing hand (11 points or more) with 4 ♥s and 5 ♠s. You do that by now jumping to 3♠. If partner had just 2 ♠s he would have bid 3NT. Since he has 3 ♠s he bids 4♠. Deal 10
