I've never been able to handle a cue bidding style of 1st OR 2nd round controls, especially when the cue can be a stiff instead of a king. Not that it's terrible but I just get them wrong too often.

Given the ambiguous diamond cue as to shortness or the king, I have to blame east. The methods come a very close 2nd with 4nt instead of a 4 heart cue next.

As Ken points out, we've all been in worse slams. Much worse.
