PROBLEM A: 4 Hearts C'mon--partner just has a good 2-level overcall
PROBLEM B: 6 Clubs Partner can only have KQxxxxx and zippo''--The other 16 HCP must be with the opponents.
PROBLEM C: 2 Notrump
PROBLEM D: Pass
PROBLEM E: Double
PROBLEM F: 4 Diamonds-- Too close to game-in-hand for "4 " and no reason do deny partner from turning up with three hearts (OR EVEN JUST TWO IF THE CLUBS ARE RUNNING)
PROBLEM G: 5 Diamonds At Matchpoints, my simulation champ , "4 " is a winner-- but the wins are smallish. On the rarer occasions where everybody makes a bunch are game-swings when they come up, and the penalty for overbidding par is usually not double-digit
PROBLEM H: Spade Ace--GOING FOR the tap-out defense, since neither minor lead appeals to me at all
