 "And Now What?" by Marti Ronemus

We've run out of turkey (at last!) and we've decided to be adventurous with Spam. Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? Be that as it may, sometimes the mundane serves us well. Let's tackle some bids with clear thinking rather than fancy conventions. We'll see what happens.


Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ K Q 8
♥ K Q
♦ 7
♣ K J 10 8 7 6 2 		 
Q: 1 - South:

1♣Pass1♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♣: A plain, unadorned Spam bid for a plain, unadorned hand. This hand has non-working honors (♥K-Q) and no aces, even though it's 17 pts with distribution.

1♣Pass1♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♣: This hand is a trick-taker. It has less HCP than our last hand, but what a difference!! This can hardly be called Spam.

Question 3

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

--1♥Pass
3♥Pass3♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 5♥: Why would Pard name a new suit after we've agreed on trump? He's making a slam try. Interestingly, his points are everywhere BUT the trump suit! If we were to bid 4♥, it would be a shut-out. Let's show him our fab trump support, and put the Spam in his pan.

Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 8
♥ K Q 4
♦ A K J 9 7 5
♣ 8 		 
Q: 4 - South:

1♦Pass3♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4 No-trump: You gotta check. If Pard has one Ace, we've got ourselves a Diamond slam.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

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


 Your choice:
A: 3 No-trump: Same number of points, BUT!! We have no wonderful source of tricks, and no singleton or void. Let's bid what we know we can make.
