Menu Vu-Bridge | Play like a Champion!

 "Halloween" by Marti Ronemus

Happy Halloween! This is one of the best holidays because there's no pressure to buy gifts or make elaborate meals. A couple bags of candy and we're in business.

BUT!! Let's talk about costumes and disguises. Do you play bridge on-line? If so, no doubt you've run into all those self-rated "experts," people wearing the costume, with absolutely nothing to back it up. So irritating, no? After all, we know who the REAL experts are!

And let's show off our costumes.

Question 1

 Your choice:
A: 2♣: Our hand is way too shapely to jump to 2 No-trump. The point count is right, but the shape is wrong.

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ 
♥ K 10 9 4
♦ Q 9 5 3 2
♣ Q 10 9 7 		 
Q: 2 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 1 No-trump: The bid of desperate responders everywhere. The beauty is that, now that we've limited our hand, we can take off the mask and show our shape/suits on our next bid.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K 10 4 3
♥ 8
♦ A K 8 7
♣ A 10 2 		 
Q: 3 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♦: We know that a new suit, after a two-level response by Pard, is forcing, so we don't need to gobble up all the candy, er... bidding space, with a jump shift. No danger this auction is ending any time soon.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 4
♥ 6 5
♦ A K 9 8 7 6
♣ A 8 		 
Q: 4 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
1♦Pass2♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♠: A new suit after Pard's single raise is forcing for one round, and shows an intermediate or better hand. We don't really want to play this in Diamonds (really...), so we are forcing the auction by showing a stopper. Since partner hasn't bid 1♠ there's no risk to end up in 4♠, and we're hoping for No-trump.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A K 8
♥ 4 3
♦ A J 10 8
♣ J 6 5 4 		 
Q: 5 - South:
SouthWestNorthEast
1♦Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♠: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We only have three, but we don't want to encourage this auction. If Pard isn't happy with those Spades, he doesn't deserve any of our Halloween swag.

And now our hand.
