England has one national KO competition with Aggregate scoring. While all those matches were on Vugraph yesterday afternoon, we were playing a round of it. Here's a few interesting hands from it. It's been a long weekend, so I'm feeling generous: no play problems (there were a couple of corkers as well, so I'll save them up).

1.
1♥ p 1♠ p
2♠ p 2NT p
3NT all pass


They play 4 card majors, weak NT, very little system. Your lead.

2.
1♥ p 1♠ p
2♠ p 2NT p
3NT all pass


2♦ is 4th suit game forcing
2♥ is constructive, about 9-12 with a 6-card suit

3.
1♥ p 1♠ p
2♠ p 2NT p
3NT all pass


4.
1♥ p 1♠ p
2♠ p 2NT p
3NT all pass

You play strong NT, 5CM, 1♦ promises 4+, open 1♦ with 4-4 minors
2♣ is forcing to 2NT or 3m

Phew! Had a long weekend with go, and your play problems are consistently tough (and unfortunately interesting too.)

2♥, why not? You said you open sound, but with the possible misfit and the bad suit I can't see this as a game force.

If double is takeout, that might be the best solution, but I assume (and prefer) that it is hearts. I would just raise to 2♦, I am not optimistic about game.

1. ♣A, wtp?
2. Since I have a bid that shows exactly this hand, I really don't see wtp. 2♥.
3. Pass. LHO is probably very close to a strong 2. Bidding might drive opps to a making game.
4. 1NT. Stopper? What's that?
