I have no problems of making "mastermind bids" that bypass a 4M for tacticals reasons but none of the hands qualify here. XX on the 3rd is gross.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

I agree, entirely, with what Justin wrote.

2♣ on the first, whatever you would do without the double on the other two. Even suggesting redouble is horrible.

On the first one, it's harder to get back to clubs if you bid 1♠ than it is to get to spades if you raise clubs. If we have a spade game partner can just bid spades. Or my raise may enable him to compete with 3♣ over 2♦/♥ when he would have to pass if I responded 1♠.

Pass all. Next round I'll have better idea if/what to bid.


Nice to have a partner to trust!!
