I deal, no interference, white vs red, IMPs:
1♣-1♠
4♦-5♠

The explanation of 5♠ is 4+S; 5- 8421HCP in S; 13+ total points.

It wasn't clear to me what I was being asked. I decided it was "go to 6♠ with 2 of the top 3 ♠". Is that right? When is it better to use this sequence rather than RKC?

Thanks for any input.

It's generally best whenever you're not interested in grand, and the only keycards you may be missing are in trumps. This is mainly to prevent lead directing doubles. Say something like JTxxx Axx Axx Ax in this auction. I tend to raise with 2 of top 4, 1 of which must be A or K.
