With a BAD 9.5 loser hand it's an easy pass for me.
Kind regards,

Transfer is ok, but I have no hopes for a game.

Clear transfer. The hand has much more value in a heart contract than in no trump.

The 3♥ bid by partner makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. But don't let the euphoria go to your head. This is still a pass. 3♥ is plenty high enough. Hopefully, partner will make 9 tricks.

I think there are two great things about a superaccept....

1) When partner had almost enough to invite, it allows you to find otherwise unfinable games.

2) When partner has crap, it keeps the opponents from balancing.

I think it's clear that this one is solidly in #2. Now they have to guess where their fit is.

If you had told them who your p was you might get different votes, Kathryn

That nonwithstanding, its still a clear pass I think.

Pass is clear. Especially since you know partner is balanced and so are you.

My partners are always unbalanced. Now, their hands may be balanced, but.....

:) Pass, even though the 'magic' hand:
Kxx
AKxx
AKxx
xx
produces a very high percentage ♥ game.

Even:

Qxx
AK10x
AQxx
Jx

is not too bad.
