DEAL 8

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.

SOUTH has 11/12 points, a Limit Raise in ♥s. So after the overcall he makes a Support Cue-bid of 2♠.

NORTH adds her 16 to the 11 that SOUTH has promised as a minimum and goes straight to 4♥.

If SOUTH had significantly more than 11 he could bid on, but in this case he should happily pass.
