Your Hand
♠ J 8 6 2
♥ Q 8 4 2
♦ 6 2
♣ 9 6 2

Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1 NT	Pass
?

A: Pass - You can't bid Stayman with fewer than 8 points. You need to have at least an invitational hand to do so because if you don't find a fit, you will have to play 2NT, and you can't do that with only 3 points.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 5

♥ A J 8 5 2

♣ 4

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

-	-	1 NT	Pass
?

A: 2♣ - This is a tricky question. With 5/4 in the majors, you need to bid Stayman rather than transfer (if you have enough points).
