3 - Double - 3 - Pass

4 - Pass - ??

Does a 4 bid here show:

2.) The Ace or King of ?

Other advice on the bidding - see below:

Bidding went:

3 - Double - Pass - 3
Pass - 4 - Pass - 4

I think one of your auctions is not what you intended.

And one of your hands has 14 cards. Use the Hand Editor and I don't think it will let you do that.

regardless if you have now 5602 or 6502 hand, i suppose the bidding went like:

3 - X - p - 3
p - 4

with x (you) and 3 (by partner) you have "agreed" on a fit, though you havent never mentioned , but with your X you indicated that you might have . now cue-bidding (4) confirms , shows 1st or 2nd round control (up to agreement) and shows interest in slam. with K the next bid is 4. Now you know enough for bidding 7.

I forgot (edited):
In case you have agreed on 1st round controls then the bidding would go, starting with 3:

X - 3
4 - 4, 4C: 1st round control, 4S: nothing else
5 - 5, 5C: 2nd round control, 5H: 2nd round control
7, thx-all i needed

important here: for you the K is more important than the A, therefore cuebidding makes more sense than Blackwood
