w/o knowing your systems its impossible to guess how to proceed

 

hand 1 (most likely slam) has a nice easy 4d cue (I like my 5th heart and my dia A

and the QT of clubs working). If p cannot move over 4d then easy pass but there is

no strong reason to not investigate. If 3n is available as serious (showing extra values)

that makes the 4d cue even better as it shows at best a mild slam try.

 

hand 2 if 3h is available as natural (or help suit) I will try for slam that way all we need

is spade A and Qxxxx in hearts to make 5 a superb contract maybe even Qxxx. If we are

unable to find a heart fit than I think slam is unlikely and we should subside in game.
