ANSWERS TO STAYMAN QUIZ (in Lesson 5(b))
- (a) bid 3♥, planning to bid 6♥ if partner shows support, or else to bid 6♣. With a balanced hand, opener has to have at least 3 cards in one of your suits.
(c) bid 2♠ - you are too weak to do anythingmore than settle in your least 7-card fit. Bad luck if ♥s would be better.
(d) bid an invitational 2NT
(e) bid 3♥, forcing to game with 5/+ ♥s
(f) 4-3-3-3 bid 3NT - a. 2NT invitational, 4 ♠s, not 4 ♥s
b. 6♥ with your 17 TP (or 4NT to check on aces if you don’t like to take the risk)
c. 3♥ - invitational values only, with 4/+ ♥s
d. 2♠ - invitational values only, with 5 ♠s
e. 3NT – game values with 4♠s
f. 3♦ - slam interest in ♦s, no heart fit - a. 3♠ - a forcing bid asking: 'Do you have 3♠s, partner?’ I have 5♠s as well as 4♥s & enough for game
b. 3NT, since we don’t have a major suit fit and I have enough for game. - Answers to quizes in earlier lessons
