Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

?


 Your choice:
A: 4 NT - Over a 4 opener, 4 NT shows an undetermined two-suiter. North will bid thinking you probably have the minors, except he will often prefer Clubs over Diamonds if he doesn't have Heart support.

If your partner bids 5, perfect. If he bids 5, you will bid 5.
