- I must agree. If there is any way to make a forcing bid in a suit after
- a take-out double, it is to cuebid and then bid your suit. Given all the
- alternatives you had the round you cuebid it must follow that this sequence
- shows a forcing hand. After all, last round you could have bid any level of
- clubs to show various hand strengths.
