You've agreed to play this system (thanks Gerben!) with your partner at a club game (matchpoints).

You hold:

AKQxxxx, 9xxx, void, Kx

The auction so far:

1D*-1H**
1S***

1D = 13+ pts, 4+ D, unbalanced (5+ diamonds unless 4441), forcing
1H = 0+ pts, 4+ S, forcing
1S = 13-20 pts, 4+ H, at most 3 spades

Your agreed follow-ups:

2C,D,H = transfer
2S = artificial GF asks for club stopper
2N = invite no fit
3C = 5-5 in the blacks GF

We've also agreed to play kickback, but most everything else as followups has been undiscussed...feel free to suggest what you'd do at the table (expecting partner to be on the same page) and/or what you'd do with preferred agreements. In particular, should 4D or 5D be splinter/voidwood. Even if they are, would you bid them after transferring to 2H?

Thanks!

That's one funny but embarrassing good board.

I'd transfer to then rebid my spades if I hadn't discussed the follow ups. I presume the spades weren't 3-3 so 6 didn't make either.

I would bid either direct 3 or through transfer - whichever I think partner would understand as slamish, suit setting and forcing - need the cuebids

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

You're not interested in the 4-4 heart fit?
