Deal 2	♠ K Q 5 ♥ A K 6 ♦ A K 9 2 ♣ A 10 8		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 2♣ pass 2♦ pass 2NT pass pass pass The bidding has gone as shown. Decide what you would bid, then click on BID above. With only 2 points you make a Negative 2♦ response to partner's 2♣ opener. He now bids 2NT. What is your bid? This isn't as clear-cut a decision as you might think at first. Partner is showing 22-24 points, and even though you only have 2 points it is possible that the partnership total could be 26. The thing that should convince you to pass is that a 24-2 point split doesn't play nearly as well as say a 13-13 split would. Lack of transportation would likely kill any chance of 3NT (or 4♠). So you pass.  Deal 3
