 "Bad Dog!! Stay 5 to 9!!" by Marti Ronemus

Remember McGruff, the Dog who told us to "Take a Bite out of Crime?" This day in 2014, John Morales, the actor who played McGruff, started a five-to-nine year jail sentence. Seems he was arrested with 1000 pot plants and a huge stash of weapons, including a grenade launcher. Guns and grass? No "Good dog" cookies for him!

Let's turn our attention away from yet another disillusionment, and see what today's cards bring us.


Question 1

  Your Hand
 8 4
 A K J
 A 5 4 3
 K J 5 4
 
Q: 1 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
---2
?


 Your choice:
A: Double: Yes, yes, it's better to have four Hearts to Double, but this is an exception. Tuck a diamond in with our Hearts and bid. We can't bid No-trump because of the lack of a Spade stopper, but this hand is just too darn big to pass with. It's NOT a crime!

Q: 2 - South:

?


 Your choice:

Q: 3 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
-1Dbl2
?


 Your choice:
A: 2: Pard told us to "Fetch!" a bid with his double. We were off the hook because of the intervening bid, but we're gonna obey anyway, showing a minimum hand. What about the Diamonds? What about 'em? Let's show our probable fit and points with a minimum support for Pard's major.

Q: 4 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
-1Dblp
?


 Your choice:
A: 3: With distribution, we have 11 pts, and need to make a bid that show our invitational values. To just bid 2 could be made with 0 pts. Let's show what a Big Dog we are by inviting.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
 A J 4 3
 7
 A 10 8 2
 K Q 3 2
 
Q: 5 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
---1
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass: Boy, we hate to pass with the nicest hand at the table, but what are our choices? We could think about overcalling Spades, but the suit is ratty. We can't bid No-trump with a singleton Heart. Rats.

And moving right along, let's "Fetch!" home a winning contract.
