Deal 4	♠ K Q 5 ♥ A K 6 ♦ A K 9 2 ♣ A 10 8		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 2♣ pass 2♦ pass 2NT pass 3NT pass pass pass The bidding has gone as shown. Decide what you would bid, then click on BID above. With only 4 points you make a Negative 2♦ response to partner's 2♣ opener. He now bids 2NT. What is your bid? True, 4 points isn't much. But added to partner's 22-24 it becomes enough for a game. Your problem isn't whether to bid to the game or not, (you definitely will), but whether you should use Stayman to find out if there is a 4-4 ♠ fit. You decide not to do this because your 4-3-3-3 distribution removes the possibility of you getting any ruffs. So you bid 3NT.  Deal 5
