Late in a KO final you look down at:

♠K ♥AQ8xxx ♦KQ8xx ♣A

And hear:

1♣ from pard and 1♠ on your right. Naturally you opt for 2♥. The bidding continues unimpeded:

3♣ - 3♦
3N - ?

Now what?

I would try 4♦. If partner 3136, diamonds could be the place to play. I think 4NT is also reasonable: partner is going to have a hard time imaging this much club and spade help after 4♦.

If you bid 4♦ can partner bid 4NT naturally?

4♦ looks normal and boring then.

I don't like that 4♦ makes too much emphasis on diamonds, I'd just blow the 5NT PAS thing you probably play.

Over 4♦, I suppose pard bids 5♦.

Enough?
