3D on the first and pass the second.

agree...don't understand why these are posted as problems...can't imagine any rational alternative (but I have a limited imagination)

Agree and WTP?

 

On the first, partner is almost always going to pass or bid 3NT. I have a great dummy for NT and I certainly prefer either of those to defending 3C.

 

On the second, bidding is going to guarantee a minus score -- if partner has the balance of the missing strength, he will bury me.

 

But I think these are the same hand. It would be better to post the problem after

 

3C-P-P-3D

P-?

 

but I would bid 3H since I wouldn't think we had any assurance of a plus score in 3D, and I think we are pot-committed at this point.

Agree with everybody
  1. 3 = 10, _P = 9. Looks like bad break and partner is likely to bid them.
  2. _P = 10, _X = 4, 3 = 3. Prefer sound actions in immediate seat.

But I think these are the same hand.  It would be better to post the problem after

Oh! Well spotted! :lol: Agree with 3 :P
