Hi,

I like 3NT, but would not have found it.

I would have gone with a double, followed by
jump NT bid, but in the end you either go and
bid 3NT or you dont.

With kind regards

It is important to double, partner might have a penalty pass.

3NT. Remove any A or K and I pass and take what I can get.

LOL? Penalty Pass with *what*? The absolute strongest heart holding parting can have is T87, and that's if declarer opened with 65432.

:P He's joking, obviously :)

Anyhow, I'll try 3NT, not that I think opener is dumb enough to lead a ♥ but hoping PD can provide a card to let me make.

3NT here. For me, absolutely clearcut to get on with it and thank pard for tabling 13 cards of pasteboard.

Why is everybody so happy to bid 3NT?
I see 6 tricks now, and everything is sitting over me.

Even if the ♣ or ♦ lead gives me the seventh trick, how am I supposed to find two more?

Very unlucky you are, to have partners who always hold xxxx x xxxx xxxx.

3NT, wtp? Partner will have some few cards and LHO will be easy to endplay. I expect to make 10 tricks more often than 8.
