Bigar’s stars

- By Madalyn Aslan

You might have a better spot, but there is no safe way to look for it. Pass.

Forget about your six-card diamond suit. Bid 3NT. The queen of spades is probably wasted, but this is a mandatory raise anyway. Bid 3H.

You might have a game somewhere, but you could get in trouble looking for it. Pass, and hope they bid something.

1NT doesn’t appeal, so we would choose between 2H and 4H. The ability to play in spades, should partner have extra length, would lead us to bid 2H.

Should you make a takeout double, partner will bid diamonds. It’s the law! Pass. Don’t even think about bidding that topless spade suit.
