- It all depends upon your goal in the auction. With your cards,
- I would be interested in slam. If you rebid 4C, you are showing real
- length in clubs and probably the shape you have (partner should be able
- to figure out your predicament.)
-
- Partner should like his cards a lot and cuebid his diamond suit.
- Since you have a runout to 5S, opener should probably cuebid his
- heart ace. You now have no problem in going to 6C.
