Now you need to Rebid!

This is a continuation from the previous post:
What to Respond?

Here is your hand:
♠K752
♥3
♦AQJT
♣AQ32

Partner opens the bidding 1♦. The opponents passed throughout the bidding. You decided to respond 1♠. Partner bid 3♠.

What is your bid? You are playing match points.

Show Answer

First think of what Partner is showing for their 3♠ bid. They should have about 17 or 18 points with ♠ support (four of them). You have 16 points. You have found a fit and have the values for a small slam. You need to respond 6♠!

For all you Blackwood lovers there is no need to ask for Aces on this auction. You shouldn't be off two of them. Otherwise Partner has a bit of explaining for their 3♠ bid.
