Will you get all the bids right?

Good luck!

 7
 A Q 9 6 2
 K 4
 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1Pass1 NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2 - You don't have enough strength for a jump, which would show game-going values.

If your partner has only 6 points, you don't necessarily have enough for game.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

 A Q 9 6 2

Q: 3 - How many Spades does North have?
SouthWestNorthEast
1Pass1 NTPass
2Pass2


 Your choice:
A: 2 - If he had a Spade fit, he would have bid 2 on the first round. 2 merely shows preference; two cards and a weak hand.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
 A K J 5 2
 7
 A Q 9 6 2
 K 4
 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

?


 Your choice:
A: 3 - Bidding your Diamonds again shows a maximum 5-5 two-suiter.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
 A K J 5 2
 7
 A Q 9 6 2
 K 4
 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1Pass1 NTPass
2Pass2Pass
3Pass3Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Your partner knows what you have and he does not want to bid game. You shouldn't either.

Your partner's hand:
Q 3
Q 5 4 2
J 3
J 7 6 5 2

You will have to set up the Diamonds, but with the 10 missing, it's complicated. If you go to dummy with a Spade and the Diamond finesse loses, they will play a Spade back. It's probably better to start Diamonds from your hand.

If everything goes well, you could make 4, but you could also go down in 3.

Your result so far:
