DEAL 10
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 opens 1
♦.

Neither opponent bids again.
SOUTH
EAST is the Dealer and opens 1
♦.
Bid this hand together with your partner.
Neither opponent bids again.
| WEST | NORTH | EAST | SOUTH |

| pass | 2♦ | pass | 3♠ |
| pass | 4♠ | pass | pass |
| pass | | | |
NORTH has the strength for a raise to game in ♠s, but this could be dangerous since SOUTH
has overcalled rather than opened. Instead, NORTH shows her strength with a Support Cue-bid.
SOUTH in fact had a pretty good overcall so he jumps to 3♠ and NORTH bids the game.
With a weak overcall SOUTH would have just returned to 2♠ which NORTH would pass.
