Question 2

Your Hand
♠ 6
♥ A K 5
♦ K Q 6 5 2
♣ A Q 7 4

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	3♠	Pass
?

A: 4♠ - You have game-going values and a Spade fit, since your partner has seven of them!

Don't try 3 NT with a singleton Spade, for you would never get to dummy to cash the Spades. Remember, your partner has a weak hand (fewer than 10 points).

♣ A K 4

Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East

Your Hand
♠ A Q 10 7
♥ 5
♦ A K 4 3 2
♣ K J 9

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	3♥	3♠
?

A: Double - After a preempt by your partner, double is for penalty. They won't make 3♠, and you will earn more from 3♠X than you would from making your own game.
