WOLFF: Partner opened a strong two hearts and I bid two spades. He bid three diamonds and I bid three no-trump.

At duplicate, was it mandatory for me to raise diamonds with -8-7-5 and a heart singleton, or was it OK to try to play at no- trump with K-Q of spades and king of clubs? CONTROL FREAK, HOUSTON, TEXAS You should have raised diamonds. Partner's hand is likely to be highly distributional and the raise in diamonds may allow him to bid a laydown slam. He knows what he is looking at; you do not He may be void in clubs. DEAR MR. WOLFF: At duplicate, partner opened one diamond and I responded one heart.

My LHO bid one spade and partner bid three clubs. After RHO bid three spades, what was my best action with: SPADES Q-J-10, HEARTS J-10-8-5, DIAMONDS 9-8, CLUBS Q-J-9-5? NO OFFENSE, MDLWAU-KEE, WIS. I would pass or bid four clubs. I would not double with only one spade winner and a good fit in clubs. rn, DEAR MR.

WOLFF: Partner opened one no-trump and I held two aces (no other honors) and a four-card heart i suit, 2-4-4-3 distribution. Waslo this enough to try Stayman opposite a 15-17 HCP open- ing? -iCIA SHAKY GROUND, FAY- rt ETTEVnXE, N.C. I recommend a pass. Even if you're lucky enough to find a i .1 Cl heart fit, game probabilities are marginal. DEAR MR.

WOLFF: At duplicate, with only the oppo nents vulnerable, what should I do when partner 1 opens one club and next hand bids one diamond? I held: SPADES 6, HEARTS K-10-5, DIAMONDS 4, CLUBS J-10-9-8-6-5-3-2. BIG JUMP, JACKSON, MISS. I would go all the way with a massive pre-empt to five clubs. Apply maximum pressure. Five clubs can't cost much if wrong, and might pay off handsomely if right.
