{

East has a sensible take out double. 

With 12HCP, but no fit, South redoubles.

West is too weak to come into the auction. 

North bids the second suit: hearts. South likes the fit, but with 8 losers,
passes. 

Remember there's a known double for take out hand that should have four hearts.}

{

North has a good redouble to show Balance of Points but no fit. South is wise
to try 1NT as repeating the clubs after partner denies a fit is probably not
good.}

{

East's redouble shows that East/West has the balance of points, but no fit with
opener's suit. South bids 1\S in response to partner's double and West rebids
2\H in response to partner's redouble. West's raise to 3\H should end the
bidding.}

South is not strong enough to redouble. A raise to 2\H should be treated as
less than 6HCP by North. West trusts partner for 4 spades and bids to the
losing trick count.}

{East's Spades aren't great, but there are five of them!

South has an excellent hand for a take-out double.

With 14HCPs, West redoubles to show balance of points and no fit with opener's
suit. 

North cannot bid. 

East shows second suit, hearts. 

It's a flat hand, West may invite to game, but it's a stretch.

With six losers, East may respond. 

Knowing the South hand holds all the points may help, but it's tough to make.
\n
South did suggest a holding of four hearts....}
