 "Nat'l Bacon Day" by Marti Ronemus

True confession: At family potlucks, my contributions were frequently overlooked---Green Beans with Browned Lemon Butter? Ho hum. Brussels Sprouts Grautine? Boring. Then I started bringing Candied Bacon! I now hold the front-and-center spot, even in front of the turkey? AND!! To take things even further, my BFF gave me a book "Bacon and Bourbon" and there's a recipe for Bourbon Candied Bacon. Guess who's going to be the spectacular showstopper next time!!

And to make YOU the showstopper at the bridge table, tackle these questions and the hand.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 3 2
♥ 4
♦ A 7 5
♣ A K J 9 5 		 
Q: 1 - South?

--1 No-trumpPass
2♣Pass2♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♣: Talk about the starring role! Pard opened 1 No-trump and has a Spade fit with us. Our hand upgrades dramatically, and with first- or second-round control of every suit, we simply must check for slam. We can use Gerber, since the opening bid was No-trump.

Question 2

♠ K 10 2
♥ 7 6 5 4 3
♦ A 6
♣ 9 4 3 		 
Q: 2 - South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-2♦DblPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♥: We can hardly sniff the bacon with this hand. Pathetic. We know Pard's got at least three, probably four Hearts, so we gotta bid them. The level is the cheapest we can find... which shows 0-7ish points.

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ K J 7 4
♥ A J 10 8
♦ A J 8
♣ 10 8 		 
Q: 3 - And South speaks again:
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♣Pass
1♥Pass2♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3 No-trump: The minute North opens his mouth, South knows they belong in game. But where? South's rebid shows a minimum hand with six Clubs. We've got the rest of the suits stopped, and since North opened, surely we can find an entry somewhere. It's much easier to take 9 tricks than 11.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ Q 4
♥ A Q J 7 5
♦ 9 3 2
♣ A J 9 		 
Q: 4 - South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass2♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2 No-trump: Wake up and smell the bacon. We need to show a minimum opener. We can't rebid the Hearts, and have no other suit to bid. Don't be tempted by 3 No-trump. This hand isn't enough of a showstopper to do that.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:
A: 4 Spades: You are opposite a passed Pard. You are on your own. Bid it and bring on the bacon.
