# unassuming cue-bid
! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowing that you need only 140 to win the match, do you quietly sign off with 2spade over partner's highly warped unassuming cue-bid? No, ethical to a fault but reaching for the bidding box as though heavily sponsored, our man is there with a leap to 4spade!!

A heart was led, but dummy was not exactly as our hero might have liked - South also seemed to have had his bidding sponsored. After winning dummy's king with the ace West continued with a heart. How would you continue?
