- 2N, natural 15+-18. At pairs you might pass and hope for +200.

- A spade. Haven't decided about the queen or ten. Think I prefer the ten.

- What are my methods? Anyhow, if a singleton diamond is possible with me I pass.
- Otherwise 3D, forcing to game. If partner bids 3S I try 3N.

- A small spade. On the auction it is possible that opener is 2317, 3217 or 3307, but
- partner might have tried 1D with a good suit. With a good hand (14+) and a 5+
- major he might double first.
