DEAL 20

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.

The chances of a slam on this hand are very small, and if NORTH decides to use RKCB it will just confuse matters when SOUTH shows two Key Cards.

NORTH has a better way to find out about the hand. She bids 2NT asking SOUTH to further describe his hand. SOUTH should then bid 3NT, showing a solid suit headed by AKQ.

SOUTH cannot have as much as an extra Jack, so NORTH just passes 3NT.
