1. 5♦. This not yet a problem, in my opinion. Will be if opps take the push to 5♥.

2. I take it 2NT was natural. 3♠ now. If pard is the sort of person who might pass this, 3NT.

3. 1♠, wtp?

4. yuck. Pass.

1. 5♦ seems clear. 4♠ might actually be better if partner has 6, but that is a pretty wild shot because partner will read you for 3-card support.
2. 3♥. 2NT is a very strange bid here. I believe partner must have the minors for this. So I'm gonna do my best hedge and bid 3♥. I'll call it a 3-way bid. It's either asking for a heart stop, a transfer to spades, or asking partner to pick his better minor.
3. Pass
4. Pass

1) 5♦ not sure who is making what.

2) 3♠ which to me doesn't prevent PD from trying 3NT with a stop and may even get us to a 5-2 fit game if that is where we belong.

3) 1♠ this duckpond is a bare min opening for me due to the attached tens and the easy rebid of 2♥.

4) Pass this flat scattered stuff.

1) I don't think this is as easy as everyone else. 5D could easily be a phantom and if partner doesn't have a stiff club it could easily go for 500. If partner does have a stiff club he is likely to be 5431 and we probably have ample defense to beat 4H and no reason to think we are going to make 5D. All that said, we may have a vul game, or a good save, or even a double game swing (especially if partner has FOUR diamonds). I would bid 5D, but I don't expect it to be right a majority of the time.

2) You need some agreements here about what X by partner would have meant and what 2N means, absent discussion I'll assume natural and bid 3S.

3) I would open, the tens and the 5-4 in the majors and the vulnerability persuade me into it.

1. 4♠. I doubt the bidding is over and I've denied primary spade support already.

2. Any agreements on 2N? I'll try 3♠ (forcing)

3. 1♠. Those 10's are seductive.

4. Pass.

4 is funny. Even relatively recently people used to double on hands like that without thinking twice, but opinion has clearly swayed the other way and now most would regard it as a very bad bid.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

1. This one is tough. No guarantee anyone can make anything at this level. But I'll bid as I usually do in these situations. I'll try 4♠.

2. 3♠, with 3NT 2nd choise.

3. 1♠, what else???

4. Pass.
Kind regards,

This is how I would vote too.

Doesn't the answer to #4 depend upon scoring?

Maybe not...I'll pass it unless 2♠ absolutely promised 4.

1. 4S 2D implied no misfit.
2. 3S Lionel double.
3. 1S 1S, rebid 2H, done.
4. P But note vs #3 above, they may have 10 + 6hcp and stolen.

These all assume MY methods; I answer 'what would I do? 'not 'what should you do?'

1) Pass my stiff k of heart suggest defense. Partner could have a doubleton clubs. This doesnt look at all like a double swing game and if it is partner might bid again. I stay away from Granville RED against W. If i bid my bid will be 4S not 5D. As 4th hand my 2D denies a S fit.

2) 3♠
3) 1♠
4) Pass

i dont see alternatives for the others 3 problems.

1= 4♠

2= 3♠ forcing

3= Pass.
♠QJT75 ♥QJT3 ♦AT ♣J6 has what 2 defensive tricks for a 1st or 2nd chair 1S?
Give me one less loser or 1 more defensive trick and I will open it 1S in 1st or 2nd chair.

4= Pass.
I have a =3343, 8 loser, 12 count.
