3♣ - Double - 3♠ - Pass

4♣ - Pass - ??

Does a 4 ♥ bid here show:

1.) The Ace of ♥ or

2.) The Ace or King of ♥ ?

Other advice on the bidding - see below:

♠: AKQxxx, ♥ A987xx ♦: - Void, ♣: AK with partner:

♠: Jxxxx, ♥Kx, ♦: Jxxx, ♣:Qx

Bidding went:

3♣ - Double - Pass - 3 ♠
Pass - 4♣ - Pass - 4 ♠

How should it have gone ? Thanks!

I think one of your auctions is not what you intended.

And one of your hands has 14 cards. Use the Hand Editor and I don't think it will let you do that.

regardless if you have now 5602 or 6502 hand, i suppose the bidding went like:

3♣ - X - p - 3♠
p - 4♣

with x (you) and 3♠ (by partner) you have "agreed" on a fit, though you havent never mentioned ♠, but with your X you indicated that you might have ♠. now cue-bidding (4♣) confirms ♠, shows 1st or 2nd round control (up to agreement) and shows interest in slam. with ♥K the next bid is 4♥. Now you know enough for bidding 7♠.

I forgot (edited):
In case you have agreed on 1st round controls then the bidding would go, starting with 3♣:

X - 3♠
4♣ - 4♠, 4C: 1st round control, 4S: nothing else
5♣ - 5♥, 5C: 2nd round control, 5H: 2nd round control
7♠, thx-all i needed

important here: for you the ♥K is more important than the ♦A, therefore cuebidding makes more sense than Blackwood
