MSC continued

Well, the Nov issue arrived today, so I better finish these before I read it.  These problems are much harder than last month.

D: MP, Fav

9743, T, AT8, QT954

(P) - 1H - (2D) - ??

Pass, and pass partner's double.  I'd double at imps - and that would be easy.  Of course, I usually play flannery, where double would be much more likely to land in a poor contract (if playing Flannery, I would correct 2S to 3C after X).

E:  IMPS, UNF

--, A8643, A5, JT8642

Pass (2S)  Pass (3S)

X.  Ehh, no big deal, this seems to cover the most cases.

F:  IMPS, Both

KQ652, J, 7643, A62

1H - 1S

2C - ??

3C.  Another problem that would be made easier by flannery, since partner would always raise spades with 3-5-1-4 shape.  10 HCP is too much to pass.  2H shows neither this strength or distrubution.  2S is madness.  2NT is antipositional.  3C is most likely to survive.  Might pass at MPs

G:  MPs, None:

A3, QT, QT765, Q632

(Pass)  Pass (Pass) 1H

(1S)  DBL (2H)  3D 

(Pass) ???

3S.  I'm up for however partner wants to proceed.

H:  Both, IMPS

A742, AT3, AQJ, JT7

(1C) X (1S) 2H 

(3NT) AP

DA. RHO has long clubs.  Could hold  HKQx.  Definately start with an ace, the DA could strike gold.
