For all you fit bid mavens out there. What is your interpretation of the following auctions (Ben - I've looked at equality methods, but we are not quite ready for it; I'm more interested from a Robson / Segal perspective and how the different pairs apply their methods):
1. 1♠ - (3♥) - 4♣
2. 1♦ - (3♠) - 4♥
3. 1♠ - (4♣) - 4♥
4. 2♠ - (dbl) - 3♣
5. 2♥ - (dbl) - 2♠
6. 2♠ - (dbl) - 3♥
7. 2♠ - (dbl) - 4♥
8. 3♦ - (dbl) - 3♠
9. 3♦ - (dbl) - 4♠
Sorry for the long list. Thanks in advance.

1. shows clubs...forcing
2. shows hearts...
3. shows hearts...
I don't see how any of these bids cannot be natural. What else could I bid?
4. lead directing raise
5. lead directing raise
6. lead directing raise
I presume we play some form of mccabe or something similar.
7. to play
8. Natural, non forcing (but could just be a lead directing raise)
9. to play
In general jumps to 4 of a major should just be to play.
The only one I find questionable is 8. Maybe its better to play it as natural and forcing, but there are alot of hands in competition you wouldnt want to force with and just want to look for a save or get a lead in or escape if you fear 3D X being passed out. With a forcing hand you can start with a XX or 4S.
