East deals, N/S vulnerable
North has a rule of twenty exactly, and has to decide on opening when there are three passes from the others.
However, North is vulnerable, and has an unprotected Queen of Diamonds. This makes this borderline hand unattractive, and it should be passed out. If North opens, a variety of contracts can be arrived at. South will have to show restraint to reply 1NT, which happens to be the ideal bid for this deal. However, with ten points, many will push on, so a two level contract is probable, any of which should go off.
If you think you recognise this hand and the one from part one, they were hands 17 and 18 on 4th May. Top score on this deal was 500 to E/W.
