1♥-(1♠)-2NT!-(4♠)
5♣-(p)-5♦
- -
2NT = 4+card ♥ and 10+HCP
If you normally play 1st and 2nd controls, how do you play 5♣ and 5♦ here?
5♣ : only 1st control or also 2nd control?
5♦ : Should it promise extra's or is it obligatory with ♦ control? Would you bid 5♦ with: QJx=Qxxx=KQxx=xx ?

5♣ is likely to be a first-round control, but it doesn't promise it - what else can you bid with A AQxxxx xx KQxx?

Cue-bidding 5♦ doesn't promise extras, but does imply that you still have your 2NT bid. With QJx Qxxx KQxx xx, which has become an aceless 7-count, I'd definitely sign off
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
