I feel confident in telling even beginners that this [cue bid] should show an invitational or better hand with a spade fit.


It is probably worth telling inexperienced players that this is OK if the change of suit is forcing; if the change of suit is merely constructive, then the cue bid has to do a bit more heavy lifting, and can't be restricted to hands with a fit.

Last night I picked up Ax Q8xx Kxxx K9x. RHO opened 1♣, pass, pass, 1♠ by partner. At the other table, 1N ended the auction. My 2N was boosted to 3N (Pard had KQT9x Tx AJx Axx), and we picked up a nice swing.


i would bid 1nt but that's because my partners don't forget to raise with kqt9x tx ajx axx when they've protected.
