Your style is to rarely superaccept (about 5% of the hands). Bidding a minor would suggest a doubleton and 4 trumps.

6♠: partner should be control rich to superaccept, so I'll shoot it out.

I could get scientific and bid 5♦ but there is a lot of potential for the wrong lead to let us make it. ie off 2 fast hearts but unless they are both on lead....

What's the difference between 3N and 4♠ ? and what would 4♥ have been ?

Shouldn't 3N show a doubleton spade and 5 hearts so responder does not have to guess which major to look for when 5-3 in the majors?

[benlessard]

It was undiscussed but our style is to refuse the transfer = pretty good super acceptance not some random hands with 4 trumps.

4H doesnt exist since wronsiding can be awful here.

I think its just barely possible for opener to have 2 quick losers but its just so unlikely.

Qxx
AQJ
AKQ

21 & 4 trumps but 10 pts in quacks Im not sure I would super accept with this.

Would that be any doubleton holding ... or a "worthless" doubleton ??

Only if you play your transfers so you can't play in 3♠, I'm quite happy to play 3♠ with 6 small and out.

*** Agree that. Blast 6S.

[gszes]

my idea of a super accept might be a hand similar to

Qxxx Ax Ax AKQxx where I felt it was better to open 2n rather than
say 1c and reverse or jump shift into a ratty 4 card spade suit.
There could very easily be play for 7s on a hand like this so the
minimum we should do is bid 6s. IMO we should bid 4n (key card)
and let p know we have all the controls and trump Q and hopefully
they can bid 7s if they have a hand similar to the above and settle
for 6s with a more balanced yet control rich hand.

I think there is an alternative method to show "source of tricks" ( in other words there are 2 ways to bid ♣,♦, or ♥ at the 4-level:

2NT - 3H!
??
4C/4D/4H = doubleton in bid suit

versus:
2NT - 3H!
3NT - 4C ( forced )
??
4D/4H = source of tricks in bid suit
4S = source of tricks in ♣ suit
