 "Polka Week" by Marti Ronemus

Polka dancing could be the next weight-loss craze. Have you ever watched a roomful of people doing the polka? Mayhem, chaos (and fun). Sadly, polkas (except in folk dancing classes) seem to be dying out. Don't let that happen. Go to YouTube and find The Beer Barrel Polka and dance, dance, dance.

Like today's quiz. You're going to need a lot of fancy footwork to get through this one, we promise. Ready? Left foot first.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ K Q 7 6 4 3
♥ 9
♦ A K 5 4 2
♣ 2 		 
Q: 1 - South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2♣Pass
2♦Pass2♥Pass
3♦Pass3♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♠: What a mess. Will this never end? Our Pard has shown six Clubs and five Hearts. We'd love to just head for the restroom, but the 3♥ bid is forcing. We're going to bid 3♠ to show our six card suit. It's his problem now.

Your result so far:

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ K 7 4 3 2
♥ 2
♦ J 8
♣ A K J 4 3 		 
Q: 2 - What should you open this hand, if anything?

 Your choice:
A: 1♣: Give yourself credit also if you open 1♠. An amazing number of advanced players would open this 1♣. Do you agree? Talk it over with Pard.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A J 8 4
♥ 4
♦ K Q 8 6
♣ K J 8 5 		 
Q: 3 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
1♦Pass1♥Pass
1♠Pass2♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass: Thank heavens Pard's last bid is not forcing. We have a classic misfit and the music is spinning out of control. We have a minimum opener. We cannot count shortness in Pard's suit. Bidding No-trump is a real Kamikaze move. And bidding 2 No-trump would show an invitational 16-18 pt hand. Two minimum hands (in an uncontested auction) should never be above 2♠. Got that?

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 6
♥ A Q 5
♦ K Q J 10 8
♣ A 10 6 5 		 
Q: 4 - South? Another misfit...
SouthWestNorthEast
1♦Pass1♠Pass
2♣Pass2♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2 No-trump: Unlike the last hand, we do not have a minimum hand. PLUS!! We've got an independent suit (5 cards, with four honors) of our own. This is forcing on Pard and makes it his problem.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 8 7 5 4
♥ 
♦ Q J 9 7
♣ K 5 4 		 
Q: 5 - South again:
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2♥Pass
2♠Pass3♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass: The music has ended. 3♥ is not forcing. Should you pass? You have no responsibility to save your Pard. You do not have an independent suit. Live to dance another day.

And now, let's see how your footwork is on our hand.
