Will you find the right hand?
Will you be able to find out which one of the suggested four hands corresponds to North’s bidding in the given bidding sequence and say what you would have done with the three others?
At first, the use of a cue-bid seems to make the sequence more complicated, because the goal of this artificial bid is not always clear immediately.
Let’s analyze the start of the auction to understand everybody’s calls.
› South made a take-out Double: he has the values of an opening bid and at least three cards in the three other suits (sometimes only two in a minor) or a strong hand.
› North used the cue-bid, showing a good hand (at least 11 points) and a problem on the way to bidding game. The cue-bid in this situation asks partner to describe his hand.

This is an extremely poor example of your technical capabilities. The first hand is in French notation while the other three are in English. King vs. Roi.
Hand #4 does not contain five spades but six! You ought to proof read before posting.
Dear victorhugo, thank you for your feedbacks. We are very sorry for the error in the first hand which was in French. Indeed Hand#4 contains 6 spades. We have changed everything and we will be more cautious next time.
I’d say hand 4 with six spades his preference is still in spades
Please designate names of cards in English or provide a guide of some kind
Dear Elli49, thank you for your feedback. The first hand was put in english, we are very sorry for the inconvenience.
And if you are curious : Ace = As, King = Roi, Queen = Dame, Jack = Valet.
