1. Too much playing strength for 3S and no other bid seems right either. I'd bid 4S even though I've heard we should always play in hearts with this shape.

2. I think that this is a pass. Hopefully I get another chance to bid.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

1) 4♠
2) Pass WTP?
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

4S and pass both seem obvious

so obvious that both must have no success.

I guess the winning bids had been 2 ♥and X but I had never found them at the table.

1) 3♥ as a fit jump.
2) This is a pass, although I'd like to find double when it's right :(

I made the 'wtp' bids (4s and pass) - 4h made (4s didnt) and double worked out better on the 2nd hand... a few pairs including the winners found 4h, quite a few scrambled to 3h on the 2nd one.

#1 2H.

3H as a fit bid is of course better.

#2 Pass, wtp?
