Consider the auction (All V, MP, LHO dealer):
1♦ - Dbl* - 1NT - pass
2♦ - 2♠ - 4♦ - Dbl**
pass - 4♥ - 5♦ - pass
pass - Dbl - pass - ?
(* = 15+HCP any distribution)

Well, we are likely to set this at least one. However, how confident am I that pard knows that the 4♥ bid was a cue in support of ♠s?
Is it possible for pard to hold only 5♠? Does the 4♥ free bid (no pun intended
) set up a FP situation? Bidding 5♠ could work, but my ODR isn't that good -- the stiff ♦ isn't likely to help too much because pard can't have too much length and the four junk ♣s are a huge liability.
In the balance, now that I have trapped myself, P seems to be the best option.

While we are at it, does partner know double was a slam try in spades?
