"It's a Small World" by Marti Ronemus

The world grows smaller and more interlocked every day. Here's proof: Hawaiian Pizza was created by a Greek Chef in an Italian Pizzeria located in Canada. We are not alone!!

Let's make the world even smaller by agreeing on some bids.

Question 1

Your Hand
♠ 4 3
♥ K J 9 8
♦ 10 8 6 5 4
♣ J 2

Q: 1 - South:

South	West	North	East
-	1♣	1♥	Pass
?

A: 3♥: What? You were thinking of passing? You want to be frozen out of winning scores? We've talked about this before. In a competitive auction, raising Pard's suit is a weak bid, designed to be preemptive, based on the number of trumps. Pard has five (and may have a weak hand!) and we have four. We raise to the level of trumps in our combined hands.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 2

Your Hand
♠ 4 3
♥ A K J 4
♦ 10 9 8
♣ A 8 7 6

Q: 2 - South:

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♠	Pass
?

A: 2♣: We bid our four-card suits up the line. Forcing. Pard will bid his Hearts now if he has four.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 3

Your Hand
♠ 4 3
♥ A K J 4 3
♦ 10 9 8
♣ A 8 7

Q: 3 - South:

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♠	Pass
?

A: 2♥: Contrast this with the last hand. This time Pard knows we have five Hearts and no other four card suit. It's so nice to be exactly on target.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 4

Your Hand
♠ K Q 9 4 3 2
♥ A J 4
♦ 4 2
♣ K 8

Q: 4 - South:

South	West	North	East
1♠	Pass	2♠	Pass
?

A: 3♠: We've got 13 HCP, and our six card suit was just raised! That should give us the extras and the courage to take it a little further. We need to invite.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 5

Your Hand
♠ K Q 9 4 3 2
♥ A K 4
♦ 4
♣ K 8 7

Q: 5 - South:

South	West	North	East
1♠	Pass	2♠	Pass
?

A: 4♠: If you can't manage to squeeze a game out with all these points and a Pard who supports, you deserve to be isolated. Bid it! Show some style.

And now, let's see the style you play with.
