Took a quick peek tonight thanks to Todd's reminder, and I'm finally finished grading so I can stop being so grumpy about work and be grumpy about the MSC instead!
Seeing some of the other's answers I wasn't sure I was even looking at the correct month, so I must surely need a rethink on most of these. Here we go:
A - 2D. I also like it because even though its somewhat artificial asking partner to bid on, it will psychologically keep the ops from leading diamonds I hope!
(2H alternative if it's more BWS appropriate!)
B - 1nt. I know, I know, no diamond stopper so its wrong. Then 2C...I know, I know its a lousy 5 card suit, and not the 6 promised at all.
(2d? can't; 2h? can't; 2S? can't or more of a shouldn't??; ....2nt? I laugh, so back to 1nt)
C - 2D. I'm not passing and letting them play in 2C, pard now knows I have a big hand, and they can punch in a NT bid with spades stopped twice.
(I could be convinced of pass since partner also surely won't let them play in 2c, but what do I do over 1nt...)
D - 5D. 3nt better not be the answer because my Q106 isn't going to cut it. 4D, well you know how I feel, but really it's way too weak with diamond support, a side ace, and surely 1 spade loser or less between us. (4H would be interesting if it guaranteed some support in diamonds). Pass seems like not much compensation given the Vul and the risk of them making.
E - 2nt. I will it bid it boldy and quickly showing all confidence in my ...ahem "stopper". 3S is a huge possibility, allowing for 3nt by p instead, it's just not in me to Pass with this hand and a weak bid by ops over p opening.
F - X. This will be first time in history that an MSC has only ONE answer chosen by every person who sees it and has played bridge before.
G - 3S. This is a cue bid, following partners cue bid for our minor. i have some worry that we will end in 3nt with pard counting on my spade stop, so I could be convinced to go to 5c.
H - AD. This will be the second time in history that an MSC has only ONE answer...(but someone tell me what the lead is in BWS from AKx. is it ace or king?)
