I "solved" the problem in another way. Singleton A, K, Q counts as 2 cards :)

What problem ? :)
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

I have always played that you just don't redouble with stiff A, so redouble shows a void. I have never seen the problem in that when you've already shown shortness.

Doesn't lack of redouble announce a sure loser in the suit?, so if partner has a sure loser in another suit how are you going to play slam?

Apparently it doesn't announce that, because he doesn't redouble with the stiff Ace. Neither do we.

I confess I gave up on the entire thread, for being unable to decipher the auction. Could we please not do the "one bid in parentheses" thing, as in, never for the rest of our lives?
