Our minor suits seem well positioned but the opponents are advertising about half the deck, so we'll need cards that fit well to make game. A 3♣ call fits the bill here, showing values in clubs. Partner with only 6 HCP but knowing his King is working has no trouble bidding 4♠. That was worth 70% of the matchpoints.
