Hand 8 produced the most suggestions. On hands like these I am always worried that the oppo have not bid when we have such good fits in two suits - it smacks of bidding challenges and not the real world. Expert A would like to know why Amsbury was able to opt for 4 this time when 4 was not available on Hand 7. He answers his own question - splinters hadn't been invented but Joe wrote the book. Expert A's choice is 3 - it cannot be natural, but I wonder what partner will do? Experts B & C lurk with 4, which I quite like, but I'm worried that it will not be construed as 100% forcing by partner. naively, I opted for 5. No guile, me.
Marks: 410, 4 8, 3 7, 5 5, 5 2.
