Both sides vulnerable, IMP scoring. You are sitting South.
What rebid would you make with the following South hands?
♠. 4 ♥. AQJ10876 ♦. A3 ♣. J43
4♥ Your partner has a strong hand and your independent heart suit must be revealed. You can play in hearts facing a void if necessary.
♠. 5 ♥. KQJ1097 ♦. K743 ♣. Q4
3♥ You have a minimum opening bid with a possibly wasted ♦K. Your heart suit is independent, always a plus; 3NT is off the wall.
♠. KQ ♥. A76543 ♦. 85 ♣. KJ6
4♠ Your hand has improved tremendously on the bidding. Partner figures to have five or six spades. (If partner had four spades, he would have arranged a different auction). There is a likely slam here and you should indicate the strength of your spades; a raise in clubs, partner’s second suit, would show four clubs.
♠. K7 ♥. A98654 ♦. QJ ♣. Q106
3♠ You have already shown partner six hearts so now is the time to give partner a preference. A raise to 4♣ shows four card support and rebids of 3♥ or 3NT are ld both off the wall.
♠. 9 ♥. AQ9764 ♦. KJ10 ♣. K76
3NT Sticks out like a sore thumb.
♠. – ♥. A876542 ♦. A2 ♣. K1032
4♦! You have to have talked this one over! The jump to 4♦ announces a big fit with partner’s last bid suit plus the ace of the jump suit. It’s a neat way of showing fitting hands while staying beneath the level of 4NT. The leap is called the ” an out of the blue cue”.
