First Answer
You are South (3rd seat, favorable). Partner showed a balanced hand with 12-14 HCP.
How good are your 11 HCP? You have a five-card suit, but you have 5-3-3-2 shape (5-4-2-2 would be better), and five of your six face cards are Queens and Jacks. The Kaplan-Rubens method values this hand at only 9.05.
How likely is it, that you can make game in spades?
