As South, vulnerable, you hold: A-6 3 7-K 8 5 4 2 O-Void -Q 10 6 3 The bidding has proceeded: NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST 10 1 A What do you bid now? A In many ways, you have the worst hand possible for one with such excellent playing potential a doubloton in the overcaller's suit and a void in partner's. Still, there are so many hands partner could have that will offer play for game that we can think of no action other than a jump to four hearts it might even steal a hand that belongs to the opponents. 2. Both vulnerable, as South you hold: A -A 10 6 6 4 0-A 7 5 -A 8 The bidding has proceeded: WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH Pass Pass Pass 10 IV 1A What do you bid now? A We wouldn't fault you if you bid four spades right away.

However, your queen of hearts is probably worthless and your flat distribution is also a drawback. A jump to three spades is adequate. 3. As South, vulnerable, you hold: A-Q 10 9 5-10 8 7 6 0-K 9 -K 6 2 The bidding has proceeded: NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST 1 3 A Pass Pass Dbl Pass What action do you take? A In a pair event, or even at IMPs, the vulnerability is wrong for you to convert to penalties. It is a close decision whether to bid three no trump or four hearts, and we slightly favor the former since partner might not have four cards in hearts.

At rubber bridge, pass becomes a more attractive option since you would still be a 3-to-l favorite to win the rubber. 4. Both vulnerable, as South you hold: A-Q 4 2 7-A 9 7 6 4 3 0-3 -Q 7 The bidding has proceeded: NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST 1A Pass 2V Pass 3 0 Pass What do you bid now? A You are in slam territory, but you cannot be sure which major will play better. For the moment, stress the quality and length of your suit by rebid-ding three hearts. Partner's high reverse guarantees another bid.

and you will then have a better idea whether to show spade support on the next round of the auction. 5. Neither vulnerable, as South you hold: A-KQ6 2 5 0-J4 -K 6 5 2 Partner opens the bidding with one diamond. What do you respond? A You have the strength for a jump to two no trump, but experience has shown that you should avoid that action when holding a reasonable four-card major. Bid one spade you can always jump to three no trump at your next turn.

6. Both vulnerable, as South you hold: A-8 7 2 V-A 0-K 10 9 7 -10 4 The bidding has proceeded: SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST 1 0 Pass 1 Pass What do you bid now? A With so much in partner's suit. North surely holds some values in the black suits. Still, we wouldn't dream of rebidding one no trump with our balanced hand. The three top honors and ruffing value in support make a raise to two hearts the standout choice.
