   1NT was 14-17, double was an unspecified 1-suiter, redouble was strength-showing, and 2 asked which suit the doubler had.

5. Both vul, IMPs, you hold

   Partner opens 1NT (15-17). What's your plan? Assume you have 2 as a transfer to clubs available.

6. No one vul, MPs for $$$

   OK, so you don't overcall 1. It's not the worst bid in the world. Maybe you doubled 1NT. Fine. Partner still led the 9.

   Declarer, a capable player, covers the 9 with the Q. Plan your defense. Only about $4,000 is riding on it.
