Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

2♥	Pass	Pass	3♣
?

A: Pass - You have a maximum, but your hand is really flat. You could go down in 3♥ while they're going down in 3♣.

Your partner can still bid if he wants to (perhaps if he's really short in Clubs).

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
1♠	Pass	2♠	Pass
Pass	3♦	Double	Pass
?

A: Pass - This is not a take-out double. You were happy play in 2♠ and your opponents have pushed you out of it. Your partner's double is for penalty. If he wanted to play 3♠, he would have bid 3♠.
