Q 1 — Neither vulnerable, as South, youhold:

♠6 5 2♥A J 10 4 2 ♦Q 8 2♣K 4

The bidding:

NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST

1♦ Dbl ?

What call would you make?

A — Re-double is possible, as youhave the requisite 10 points, but thataction suggests a desire to defend. Theonly suit contract you want to defend ishearts. Dream on! A one-level responseis natural and forcing, and does not deny10 points. Bid one heart.

Q 2 — North-South vulnerable, as South,you hold:

♠J 8 4♥A 9 6 ♦A Q 9 8♣6 5 2

The bidding:

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST

Pass Pass 1♠ Pass

?

What call would you make?

A — Should you and partner use theDrury convention, where a two-club bidby a passed hand is artificial, showing10 points and a fit, now is the time for it.Failing that, you must risk the three-leveland bid three spades.

Q 3 — Both vulnerable, as South, youhold:

♠K Q 5 3♥A J 7 3 ♦K 3♣A 5 4

Right-hand opponent opens two spades,weak, showing 5-10 points and a six-cardsuit. What call would you make?

A — A two no trump overcall of a weaktwo-bid shows a hand with a soundstopper that would have opened one notrump, if it could. That should be yourchoice here. Had the opening bid beenthree spades, you should bid three notrump.

Q 4 — East-West vulnerable, as South,you hold:

♠A K Q 7 5♥J 7 2 ♦A Q 9♣Q 3

The bidding:

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST

1♠ Pass 1NT Pass

?

What call would you make?

A — A two no trump re-bid by opener,over a one-level response, shows 18-19points. This applies whether it is a jumpre-bid or a simple raise. Bid two notrump.

Q 5 — North-South vulnerable, as South,you hold:

♠J 7 3 2♥A 4 3 ♦Q 10 7 3♣A 6

Partner opens one heart and right-handopponent passes. What call would youmake?

A — To bid one spade when holding afit for partner’s hearts, you must have ahand good enough to jump raise hearts,usually to the three-level, at your nextturn. This hand qualifies. Bid one spade.Should a 4-4 spade fit exist, you want toplay in it.

Q 6 — East-West vulnerable, as South,you hold:

♠10 8 7 2♥Q 9 4 2 ♦10 9♣A J 4

With the opponents silent, partner opensone no trump. What call would you make?

A —Modern thinking is to bid two-clubs,Stayman, with 4-4 in the majors, despiteless than invitational values. You are hop-ing to find a major suit fit. Should partnerrespond two diamonds, continue with twohearts. This is “Garbage Stayman,” ask-ing partner to pass with three hearts and“correct” to two spades with two heartsand three spades. We like it!
