DEAL 3

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 jumps to 4♠, confident that SOUTH could make 10 tricks even if he just has 6 points.

SOUTH knows he can make more and bids RKCB 4NT.

NORTH's 5 response shows zero or three Keycards. So which is it? Zero or three?

NORTH bid much too strongly to have no Aces. SOUTH bids a confident 6♠, knowing NORTH has either three Aces or two Aces plus the ♠K.
