You are very close to being strong enough for a "Super-accept", but with this hand you should just complete the transfer to 2♥. Partner now says 4NT. What do you bid? |

If you don't remember Deal 9 go back and look at it now. Partner is not bidding Blackwood, he has about 16 points and is inviting you to bid a slam if you have a maximum. He is also telling you that he has just 5 ♥s and wants you to decide between the suit contract and notrump. Once you understand partner's bid, your next move is simple. You have a maximum and you prefer to play in the suit. So you bid 6♥. Deal 22 |
