Bridge expert explains bidding decisions for two hands. For Q1, South should raise to two no trump after partner doubles and rebids, finding game values with seven points and diamond strength. In Q2, with 18 high card points and reverse bid implications, seven no trump is suggested. Q7 advises pass with strong spade suit to avoid over-penalty, and Q8 shows a one heart response with nine points plus support.
The hand is not strong enough in high cards for a three heart bid. A preemptive raise is advised to obstruct opponents, especially by hindering a spade bid.
The advice notes that despite playing strength to justify a redouble, it is not recommended. A bid of four spades is preferred to block opponents from reaching a combined contract and to avoid overreach beyond your capacity.
This hand is valued at 11 points with distribution. Suggest three hearts as the immediate call and, after partner response, bid three clubs to probe for a slam. The sequence implies 1 heart, 2 spades and a cautious approach to determine the most playable denomination.
