DEAL 19

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
 
 West is the Dealer and he opens 1♦.
 Bid this hand with your partner.
 Neither opponent bids again.
     
 
 SOUTH
 
 West is the Dealer and he opens 1♦.
 Bid this hand with your partner.
 Neither opponent bids again.

If West had passed, NORTH would have opened with a preemptive 3♠.

She should make the same bid with the same hand AFTER the opponents open. And she makes it for the same reason, to describe her hand and to take away bidding space from the opponents.

SOUTH treats it just like a Preemptive 3-bid, even though it is now called a Weak Jump Overcall. In this case, SOUTH passes.
