♦ A J 8 6   ♣ K Q 10

WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
1H 1S Pass ?
What call would you make?
You will certainly force to 4S, but bidding it right away would suggest distributional values rather than high card values. Cuebid 2H, You can bid 4S later.

♠ 6 3   ♥ Q 6 2
♦ Q 6   ♣ A K 8 7 6 3

As dealer, what call would you make?
11 points and a decent 6-card suit is worth an opening bid. Bid 1C.

♠ Q 6 5 ♥ K 9 6
♦ K 10 8   ♣ A Q 7 4

WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
1D Pass 1S ?
What call would you make?
1NT would show a better hand. There is nothing sensible to bid. Pass.

♠ A J   ♥ 10 7
♦ K Q J 8 4   ♣ J 8 7 4

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
1D Pass 1H Pass

♠ 4   ♥ A Q J 8 6 3

As a pure bridge decision, pass is routine. Partner will bid again if you can make something at the 3 level. As a competitor in a duplicate pair game, 3D has merit.

2C ?
What call would you make?
he first double was penalty. We don’t think you can make a penalty double and a take-out double on the same deal, so pass is the bid here. If you’re feeling bulletproof, you might try 2D.

♠ K Q 7 6   ♥ A K 10 8 7

Even as a passed hand, partner needs 10 points to bid 2D. Bid 3NT. It should have reasonable play.
