I am a lawyer in Denver, Colorado, married to Anne Brenner, my partner in life as well as bridge. I am on the USBF board, the District 17 disciplinary chair, coach of the USA under 26-2 junior team, and write a monthly column, "Sleeping on the Couch". A collection of my columns is now available in book form from Master Point Press. My 19,000 master points aren't worth a damn without a national championship and my dream is that some day I win the "Italian-American, pony-tailed tax specialist playing with the Francophile, retired pathologist four session senior mixed BAM."

2N-3C (regular stayman)
3H-3S (slam try confirming hearts)
3N!- (then cuebid-cuebid-keycard-6)
3N was properly alerted as a spade control. That was a new treatment I had not seen before. (Yes, I am familiar with replacement cuebids in other sequences.)
My question is "What is the best use for 3N in this sequence?"
