# heart fit

Acol has a long established tradition of using a jump shift after an initial pass to show a fit with opener's suit, as well as a good suit of your own. Ideally 3diamond should have shown diamondA, but West felt the hand was worth it anyway.

East's next bid is 3spade - presumably a cue-bid. What now?
