Solutions for March
A: 3d: Really debated on this one. Hard to visualize winning 6 tricks leaving the double in. Yet 3d is a bit to high.
Finally 3d because my partner's cards are behind the opener.
B: 2S: Must bid something to show some value but not enough to bid 3d.
C: 3H: Hope to set up spades, the longer suit for pitches. Plenty of entries in dummy.
D: 1NT: another teaser. I don't think partner will have enough to use Stayman to find the spade contract.
Double would not work if partner bids diamonds having the heart lead through my hand. So....
E: 6c: Gives partner a choice. But what's 4D? I think it implies he prefers clubs. Slam is somewhere, but how high?
F: 4S: Ideal slam try.
G: 3c: Only because of the footnote. Showing shape. Fingers crossed.
H: 2S: decided to go passive this time.

Well Todd,
First: Sorry you are so sick. Wish you the best and recover soon.
Second: I was impressed with your answer to G. I didn't think of the impossible spade.
It might be a winner.
