- David Hankins's bidding problem: 8xx xx AQ9xx AKQ
- Just wait for the next installment where you lack the S8!
- David Hankins's bidding problem: Kxxx Qx AQxxx KQ
- In the spirit of Master Solvers... the hand given is your own - pard's hand remains a mystery; one assumes that pard has made the best bid possible under the stated agreements, and it's up to you to respond. Other commenters are also puzzled as to what 5S might ...
- David Hankins's bidding problem: Kxxx Qx AQxxx KQ
- Fair enough. Lack of spade strength/spots and values in diamonds are definitely drawbacks.
- David Hankins's bidding problem: K86 95 AK976 A85
- Interesting responses... Although 2D is much more destructive than X (and thus has a lot going for it in terms of making it much more difficult for the opponents to land in the correct contract - plus lead directing value in the unlikely event that pard is on lead), even at ...

- I think that RF's and JD's comments are spot on. Although you might reasonably decide to bid 4S after pard's splinter, I don't follow your logic passing pard's 5S bid. Your 4S signoff indicates zero interest in slam in spite of holding a maximum with ...
- David Hankins's bidding problem: Kxxx Qx AQxxx KQ
- 4D was stated as showing shortness in the comments and was correctly interpreted as showing shortness at the table. Your suggested treatment of 4D is not part of our partnership agreement at present... Pard is a convention junky though :-), so we might (eventually) end up playing as you suggest in ...
- David Hankins's bidding problem: Kxxx Qx AQxxx KQ
- Either 4D was the best bid by pard, or you should line up at the partnership desk. Or perhaps EW agreements on the meaning of 4D are not best as per JF's suggestion above - but that argument isn't relevant given the interpretation of 4D in the OP.

- I don't follow this logic... neither clubs nor hearts have been cue-bid. West must have both of them covered.
