Test Your Mettle

I bid 3N. Yes this is wimpy, but I have a rather mediocre 15 count. If partner has 18 or even a good 17, surely they'd bid 4N.

 

BTW, 4N here is a quantitative invite in NT for me.

I’m surprised by your reluctance. This is quite a good hand in a suit contract, especially if partner has a 6th heart. Bidding nt in this sequence to me suggests less of a fit and better spades.

Partner could have cue bid over 3 but hasn't. That does not bode well for slam. I'd chicken out.

 

You might consider that partner showed extra values missing 9 points from his suits - if he stretched a bit for his bid it would likely be due to holding cards in diamonds. It’s hard to visualize a hand that doesn’t make slam that would be bid the same way. With 3514 2N is as likely a rebid as 3C.
