A bid in partner's suit or a new nonadverse suit is competitive without showing game interest. A cuebid of the opponents’ known suit shows a raise of partner's suit. The raise is invitational limit raise or stronger. The cue bid raise implies a five-card side suit (probably, not the overcaller's unspecified second suit).
In contract bridge, a cue bid (also, cuebid or cue-bid) is either a bid of the opponents' suit, or "slam seeking": a slam-investigating bid made during an auction's later rounds that shows control of a suit. Traditionally a cue bid is "slam seeking", but in the early 21st century the usage appears to be giving way to control bid.

Advance sacrifice A sacrifice bid made before the opponents have had an opportunity to determine their optimum contract. For example: 1 ♦ – (1 ♠) – Dbl – (5 ♠).

This is a list of bidding systems used in contract bridge. [1] [2] Systems listed have either had an historical impact on the development of bidding in the game or have been or are currently being used at the national or international levels of competition. Bidding systems are characterized as belonging to one of two broadly defined categories:

The splinter bid is a double jump shift to the singleton or void suit. Partner of the splinter bidder will then typically bid game or proceed with cue-bids to investigate the possibility of a slam.
Kantar cue bids are a bridge convention. After the bidding is opened at the one level, and there is a suit overcall in the direct seat, a cue bid of the opponent's suit denotes a 3 suited hand with 8+ points, a singleton or void in the opponent's suit, and 4+ cards in every other suit.
A Michaels Cue Bid is a bid of two of a suit in which an opponent has bid one that promises two five-card suits including the unbid majors and, in most partnerships, at least seven or eight HCP. Thus, either 1 ♣ -2 ♣ or 1 ♦ -2 ♦ promises both five hearts and five spades, 1 ♥ -2 ♥ promises five spades and either five clubs or five ...
In the game of bridge, Leaping Michaels is a conventional overcall in 4 ♣ or 4 ♦ made in defense to opposing 2-level or 3-level preemptive openings. A variant of the Michaels cuebid, Leaping Michaels shows a strong two-suited hand (5-5 or longer) that is less suitable for a takeout double and is game forcing.
