- * Just for fun, how about this sequence?
- *
- * S N
- * 1S 2NT(1) (1) Jacoby 2NT, forcing raise in spades
- * 3S(2) 4D(3) (2) No singleton or void, non-minimum. If your agreement
- * 4H(3) 6S is to rebid 3NT with this hand, fine.

- Well, on this auction, East might find a double of 4D,
- especially holding both the ace and king.
