Quiz 8 More Transfers and take out doubles


Partner opens 1NT and you show your 5 card spade suit by bidding 2♥, partner dutifully bids 2♠, what do you bid now?

 
  • ♠ AQ986
  • ♥ Q
  • ♦ AKJ96
  • ♣ A2
3♦
With a hand with slam aspirations we show our second suit before we decide which will be the final game.
 
  • ♠ AKJ54
  • ♥ Q2
  • ♦ 9863
  • ♣ A3
3NT
Our diamond suit is too poor to show, but we can show our game values by jumping to 3NT and leaving partner to decide the final contract.
 
  • ♠ A7643
  • ♥ Void
  • ♦ KJ986
  • ♣ J32
Pass
With only 9 HCPs we are not good enough to suggest game so we pass. Yes we may miss a game if we have exactly the right cards for partner, but if we go on then we will stray to too high a level too often.
