Not Those Clubs Again...

Always it's clubs. Where is Rev E S Bulcon when you need him?

All at IMPs, short matches
  1. Both red

     S:x H:KQ9xx D:J109xx C:xx

    PartnerYou
    1S:1NT
    2C:?

  2. favorable

     S:AKJ H:Axxx D:Axxx C:Qx

    RHO You LHO CHO
    Pass1D: 1H: 5D:
    6C:! ?

    If you double, 6C:x becomes the final contract. Find a lead.

  3. Both vul (Maybe YOU are Bulcon?)

     S:K9xx H:J10xxx D:AJ10x C:—

    CHO RHO You LHO
    1D: 2C: Dbl 2H:
    Pass2S: 3D: 5C:
    PassPassPass

    What do you lead?

  4. unfavorable (wrong void this time)

     S:KQJ98xx H:AKxxx D:— C:x

    RHO You LHO CHO
    1D: 2D: Dbl 2H:
    3C: 4S: 6C: Pass
    Pass?

    2D: showed the majors. They have no idea what Dbl meant.

    a) do you agree with your bidding so far?
    b) what now?
    c) if you pass or double, what do you lead?
