- 4C shouldn't be a cue bid since you haven't agreed on a suit
- (partner's delayed raise of spades does not set the trump suit). A 4H
- bid in this sequence (on a different hand, naturally) might be a
- cue-bid, since you haven't bid hearts before. In this case, though,
- 4C should just be showing a long club suit.
