 There is no ideal call by Frank Stewart

In most of todays questions, there is no ideal call, but you still have to find the best one.

What will it be?

See how you fare...

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ 7 4 2
♥ A 8 7 4
♦ A
♣ A J 10 9 4 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♣Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♠: You have no good bid. A rebid of two clubs would suggest a sixth club. A bid of two hearts would be a "reverse" and would promise more strength. Raise to two spades. Your hand will make a reasonable dummy for a spade contract. Partner may have five or more spades; after all, he did not respond in a red suit.


Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ K Q J 10 9 8
♥ K 4 3
♦ 10 2
♣ A 5 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2♦Pass
2♠Pass2NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♠: You have only 13 high-card points, but your hand is worth substantially more. You have a six-card suit (your bidding hasn't promised one), good intermediates and primary values on the side. Partner's sequence invites game, and you should accept readily. Jump to four spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ 9 7 3
♥ A Q 9 6
♦ A 7
♣ A K J 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
DoublePass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 1NT: You have enough extra strength to bid again, but no bid is ideal. You can't raise the spades (partner may have a ragged four-card suit), and you have no long suit of your own. Bid 1NT, hoping he will show another suit, rebid a long spade suit or pass when 1NT is playable.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 7 6 3
♥ Q 9 6 5 2
♦ A Q
♣ 6 5 3 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♦Pass
1♥Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: To pass might be a winning action; a contract of one spade might provide your only plus score. Nevertheless, your partner could have as many as 18 points, and you have useful honors in his first suit. Bid 1NT. You have no stopper in clubs, but you do have balanced pattern. Give partner another chance.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 6
♥ K 9 8 4
♦ K 9 8 3
♣ A Q 5 2 		 
Q: 5 - How do you open that hand as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass: Many players would consider this a mandatory opening bid; it has adequate defensive values. The case for passing is persuasive. You have borderline high-card strength and no length in spades. The hand will be awkward to describe after a minor-suit opening and the likely response of one spade. I would pass with no sense of remorse.


Your result so far:
