Pass for me. Partner could have bid 3NT on tricks rather than HCP.
OK

Pass also, but only because I have too many clubs. The odds of partner having a trick-taking 3NT instead of just a nice balanced hand are about 50-50, but the spade suit should provide the tricks.

thinking of slam? The opener has stopped that exploration.

Agree with aquahombre. Club length is red flag for 4♠.

if the opening was 3♥ I'd pass since long minor is very likelly, but now the balanced hand is more likelly and I wanna try 4♠.

OMG I always thought it was aqua. The g is even underlined making it impossible to read.

But I know what it's like. Some people seem to think I'm called jdown.

I'm also guilty of thinking it was "aquahombre". Which language did we think it was in?

wow...such fame, all of a sudden.
"waterman" was taken

it is a g...the spanish for water.

I ran a thread about three months ago which included some other interesting problems( including the Hoq) caused by the underlining in BBO. But, I have lost it, and nobody gave a sh..., anyway.

Kinda ironic that aqua and agua are both water related...

Seriously though.. I can see thinking it's aqua since it's english but the second word is spanish!
