There
are 2 approaches on how to handle big, balanced hands like this one. 1st:
people open 2 ♣️ and rebid 2 NT with 22-24,
rebid 3NT with 25-27, and rebid 4NT with 28-30 , etc. Others like to open this
hand with 3NT (25-27points) so that the opponents don’t know a great deal
about the hand and it’s a perfect description of the hand for partner.
Most partnerships play both Staymen and Jacoby Transfers over all the NT
responses. Partner would bid some number of ♥️ as a transfer to ♠️. Partner knows you have an
8-card fit because you must have 2 ♠️ for your bid and would place
the contract in 4 ♠️. Which might or might not
make depending on lead and defense.
But to address the play in 3 NT, I would like to point out 1 thing declarer
should have tried and been down only 1 which might be an average board on a
good day. Most tables would lead a ♥️ so now you have 4 A’s, 2 Ks
and the ♥️ Q. Before you do anything
else, play ♦️ because if they break 3-3,
your 4th ♦️ becomes your 8th trick. When
you’re short on tricks. Always try for something good to happen for you!
Hope
this helps,
