Deal 23	♠   ♥   ♦   ♣		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 1NT pass 2♦ 2♠ pass pass 3NT pass  BID    You don't want to bid 3♥ because partner might have a very weak hand. Since you don't really have anything to add to your opening bid you PASS. Remember, you have a partner who heard your first bid and he knows more about the hand than you do. And he now bids 3NT. What do you say now?.
