Given we had just had a bottom, I punted 6♠
Excellent reasoning

Cascade, let's see NO SQ, NO CK NO HA HQ so partner 3C on S-xx H-xx D-xxx C-Q109xxx. He is some kind of masochist! Rule of 5-6?
There are a whole lot of diamond honours out there.

I believe that the USA currently hold only the World Championship For People Who Still Bid Like Your Auntie Gladys - dburn
dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

Is that something you need to discuss? I'd just assume that four of a red suit showed spade support and shortage.
Dunno, I would not assume it showed shortness so we would be on different wavelengths. Maybe you do not preempt with 3226 but I am not as sound
No, I might well preempt with 3226.
What I ought to have said was that I wouldn't expect to have to agree that 3C-3S-4red is a cue bid for spades - there really isn't any other sensible meaning. The question of whether it should promise shortage, a high-card control, or either is a separate matter.
... 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
