pigpenz Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 in this situation i would just ignore the double and play as if we are cuebidding...pass and redouble have options to show second round control or nothingbut i am going on the idea that the 3♦ bid implies spades4s =sign off4nt =key card5c=cue bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassRDL4S4NT5C 4D=slam try, yes RKC for clubs slam try. As usual if responder is not limited here I prefer they be captain on hand.4H=0-3 now: 4s=Queen ask4nt=sign off5c=sign off5D=Specific k ask and confirms possession of all Keycards.pass=deny first round H control. Please rdbl partner with first round controlrdbl=confirm first round H control. Please continue to cuebid partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I post what I think is the most simple approach: Pass: Interest in a first round heart control (Asking for a rdbl)RDL: First round heart control, interest in the spade control 4S: Spade control a hand that can't bid 4NT probably with a void. 4NT: RKCB in clubs5C: I had a minimum slam try so go to six only with extras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 This is the way I would play with my regular partner(s), not what I would assume with a pickup. a) I play 3H as club support, but I pretend that 3D showed club support:D 3S naturalc) 4D cue bid for clubsd) 4H cue bid for clubs now bids are as they were without the double pass = no heart control, unlikely to have a spade control as no cue, still interestedrdbl = second round heart control (in principle partner has shown first round control)4S = cue bid (might be the King as partner's suit)4NT = discouraging given the auction to date, not 100% forcing5C = encouraging given the auction to date (in the context of not passing or bidding 4S this is effectively a trump cue bid, as what can you have other than good trumps to encourage?)
