Michaels Cue-bids by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, we will look at another sort of bid to show a two-suiter: the Michaels Cue-bid.

Over a minor, the cue-bid shows at least five cards in both majors, and over a major, the cue-bid shows the other major and an undetermined minor, again at least 5-5.

Will you find the right bids?

Good luck!
