ANSWER: Your correct bid is five hearts. This bid strongly invites six, but at the same time will allow your partner to pass if he has no first- round control.

Score 100% for five hearts, 60% for six hearts (a gambling overbid), 0 for three or four hearts ( a distinct un- derbid). Note: If you are playing convention, four-notrump. artificial that is the correct bid and should be scored as 100%.
