"Champions aren't made in gyms, champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. " - M. Ali

Really, 3♠ support asking bid on a doubleton instead of 3NT, or perhaps 4♥ to play? It is clever 3♠ found out that partner had 8 count them 8 clubs, but what if partner had 4♠? Surely with three red cards that was a possibility. Could you ever in up in any reasonable contract? Also, partners 8 clubs might not be suitable for play at the five level (he could have heart QJ doubleton, Clubs headed by king empty, a diamond honor.
What am I missing that makes this a good one?
