Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - With 2 points, you don't want to respond. One-level openings are not forcing. You usually need at least 5 points to respond.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 1 NT - With 6 points, you have to respond, but bidding your suit at the two-level would show at least 10 points.

Your only bid is 1 NT, which does not show a balanced hand at all. It just says you have 6-10 points and no Spade fit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 1 - Even with really bad Hearts, you need to bid them when you have four or more cards. You don't want to miss a Heart fit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
 8 2
 K 10 8 7 3
 9 6 2
 7 4 3
 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 1 - Yes, you have only 3 points, but you should strain to respond when you have a five-card major.

You could have a great contract available in Hearts, maybe even a game.

Your result so far:
Open Question
