DEAL 18

These Practice pages can be utilized in several ways.

The recommended method is for two partners to be in vocal contact, each looking at the page in a different computer - perhaps one with a laptop. Using this method one partner would start by clicking on NORTH, the other on SOUTH.

Somewhat less satisfactorily, the partners can use a single computer, and alternate looking at the display, again one as NORTH, the other as SOUTH.

As a last resort, one person can click back and forth between screens.

Start by clicking one of the buttons; when the bidding is complete click the BIDDING button to check the "recommended" bidding.
     
 
 NORTH
 
 East is the Dealer and she opens 1♠.
 Bid this hand with your partner.
 Neither opponent bids again.
     
 
 SOUTH
 
 East is the Dealer and she opens 1♠.
 Bid this hand with your partner.
 Neither opponent bids again.

SOUTH would have had a great opening 1♠ bid. But when EAST opened 1♠ in front of him he was hornswaggled. He couldn't bid any other suit, he couldn't bid 1NT and he sure couldn't bid ♠s. So he must pass.

And so does everybody else pass.
