2N - 3♦
3♥ - 3♠
4♦ - 5♣ - (?)

3♠ is spades.
4♦ is a cue for one or both of the majors
5♣ is a cue.

You have the opportunity to double. Do you?

I wouldn't. This probably will just help them and shouldn't partner basically be leading a club already anyway?

I would double. If I don't, partner will think my RHO has ♣AK, and he may lead a diamond in an attempt to set up a trick there.
... 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

Absolutely clear pass imo. Partner will lead from the minor where he has an honor, which is exactly what I want. If he has nothing in either minor he will prefer a club over a diamond anyway.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Partner is going to lead his stronger minor if we don't double, which is exactly what we want.

Of course not!
If you had a club void then I would double...

Obvious pass IMO. We want partner to lead the minor he holds an honour, if possible.
Kind regards,

I was kicking myself for doubling. I agree with the comments about partner will lead his better minor (what else is in play here?)

The club Ace led to ruff, and the QC as a loser on loser.

But its an interesting hand on a diamond lead:



I'll copy this to the BI.
