1) First board of the day! You're looking at ♠AKQ854 ♥7 ♦J109763 ♣ --- and you hear 1C opening on your right. Not playing a variant of Michaels where you can show this suit combination , so you bid 1S, then this happens:
1C-1S-2C (inverted)-2H
3C-3D-p-3H
4C-4D-p-4S
5C-p (forcing)-p-X
all pass
Agree with the bidding? Suppose opps tell you after the auction that 2C is in fact weak - do you call the TD
2) ATB:
2D = multi: weak 2 in major, strong 2 (not GF) in any suit or 21-22 BAL. 2H = pass if you have a weak 2 in hearts, otherwise describe your hand.
3) We conceded a bunch of doubled making contracts betweeen us, but this was the worst episode of the evening:
Opps playing 4cM, weak NT. You can probably guess what happened for -690. Please comment on the 1NT overcall, the 2S bid and the X (and/or pass of X), and what you would lead/follow up with.
4) I thought this was amazing declarer play by opps!
After 1S-(p)-3S-(4C); 4S all pass how would you play given the lead of the CQ?
5) How good is your hand...
♠8 ♥Q2 ♦Q10975 ♣J8752
Partner opens 2C (GF or 23+ BAL), RHO comes in with 4S, now what? You're NV against V. If you pass, partner X's and it comes back to you again...
Edit: If you bid 4NT after the X, partner bids 5D, do you raise?
