Good luck!

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 8 5

Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♥
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - This is a perfect hand for a take-out double; shortness in Hearts with at least three-card support for every other suit, and good opening values.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 4 2
♥ K Q 9
♦ A J 8 5
♣ A K 6 3 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♠
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - Some people think you need four Hearts to make a take-out double of Spades. That's not an obligation. You need at least three.

Of course, you would prefer to have four Hearts, but three is acceptable, especially when you don't have a minimum hand.

Your result so far:
Open Question
