but yes 3N does not exist on this sequence, so I think you can do what you like. The only time I've ever produced a bid like it was where I realised my 2 4 card black suits were in fact one 8 card suit, and partner had just transferred to the other black suit.
I agree with Hotshot and Cyberyeti that partner may be gambling with something like this.
Last night, at the Glasgow Bridge Centre, on a similar deal and auction, we went five down in 3NT. Unfortunately...
