?


 Your choice:
A: 4♥: Your two-heart preference showed at most nine points, but partner tried again for game, and you have the best possible eight-point hand. You have an ace plus two valuable honors in his long suits. Bid four hearts. He may hold 2, A K 7 6 4 2, A 6, K J 9 4.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

Q: 2 - What do you bid next as South?

?


 Your choice:
A: 3♦: You will bid a game, and slam is possible. Partner might hold 8 7 6 5, A 5, A 6 4, J 9 5 2, and you would have a play for 13 tricks. To test the water, bid three diamonds, forcing. If partner jumps to five clubs next, bid six clubs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand

♦ A 10 3
♣ Q 8 4 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid next as South?

2♠Pass3♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♠: Your jump-response showed about 10 points and invited game; your decision now is close. Your ace of diamonds may face partner's singleton, and you have a fifth spade and a useful queen. As against that, your jack of spades may be wasted. Bid four spades if vulnerable, pass if not.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A 10 8 4
♥ K
♦ 8 6 5 3
♣ K 10 9 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♥Pass
1♠Pass2♥Pass
2NTPass3♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♣: Partner has six hearts, four clubs and minimum values. If he had extras, his second bid would have been three hearts or two clubs. Your 2NT was bold, but since you have three good cards, you can make one more effort to reach game. Bid four clubs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ K 7 3
♥ A 4 2
♦ A 10 9 7 6
♣ K 4 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♠Pass
2♦Pass2♥Pass
3♠Pass4♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♦: Since spades is the agreed trump suit, partner's four clubs is an ace-showing cue bid to try for slam. Your values look perfect; you won't stop below six spades. To try for a grand slam, cue-bid four diamonds, planning to cue-bid your ace of hearts next.

Your result so far:
