A: 3NT
Partner's 3
4th suit bid says "tell me more". I have extras but not enough for a slam try so 3NT it is.
B: 3
BWS says that a double jump shift is a splinter. So if I splinter with 3
partner is obliged to cue a minor then I will bid 4
(exclusion)
C: 4
Slam cannot be ruled out. Partner could have
xxxxx,
Kx,
Kx,
AKxx where 7
is almost a laydown. So I will force with 4
.
D: 3
Partner has a likely balanced 3-4-3-3. I will be cautious and bid a non-forcing 3
.
E: Pass
We have a likely 8 card spade fit and the opps a likely 9 card heart fit. If the opps can make 4
, then we will only make 7 tricks in spades. A disaster sac. If the opps can only make 3
, then we will be 1 off in 3
. (A good sac) To cater for this we must pass and then pass ff opps bid 4
or bid 3
if the opps pass over 3
.
F: 3
If we have 2 spade losers and play in 5
, we need partner to have A
and at least a doubleton diamond. If partner has a stop in spades we have a better chance in 3NT.
G: Double
I am not sure about this. Perhaps a 3
splinter is better. If opps raise to 4
partner will not know that I have a spade void. OTOH a 3
splinter could reveal too much to the opps or it could be what partner needs to know to find the right spot.
H: 4
What lead is (a) least likley to give a trick and (b) is the most attacking? I just don't know. I will be different and go for the 4
.
