If North has nothing other than seven spades and three hearts, you can count 13 tricks, seven spades, three heart ruffs and three minor-suit winners. Should North have only two hearts, as little as the queen of diamonds or king of clubs will yield all the tricks Bd seven spades. 2. Despite the excellent distribution, your two suits are full of holes and partner's response Hints at a possible misfit Rather than go galloping off into the stratosphere with a high reverse of three diamonds, take the low road Rebid iwo spades and wait to hear what partner does next. 3. With an aceless 11 points, we hope you did not even think of anging for a minor-suit game Since slam is out of the question and even an 11-trick contract could be out of reach the only action with your hand is to raise to three no-trump 4. There's no rush to leap to three clubs, especially in these days of three-card minor opening bids and limit raises. The correct response, regardless of whether you open four-card majors or five, is one spade to probe for a possible 4.4 fit you can vigorously support clubs next. 5. There are hands where it is correct to open one diamond and rebid two clubs with longer clubs than diamonds, but this is not the hand for that sequence. Since opening one club and reversing into two diamonds when more than half your strength is in the unbid sults is unreasonable, we suggest you tel a little wnite le about your distribution and open one no trump 6. You certainly want to get partner to choose a major suit, but you cannot afford to make a takeout double-partner may seize the opportunity to convert that to penalties by passing expecting you to have defensive values. The way to get partner to act is to cue bid four diamonds no Ave., Berkeley. (510) 527-6779.
