ANSWER: Your correct opening bid is two spades, This hand offers dis- tinct slam possibilities- and is very likely to prodjice game with no assis- tance from your partner whatsoever.
·Score 100% for two spudes, -70% for one spade (there is little danger of a one-spade bid being passed all. around table), 0 for three or four spades (never pre-empt with a strong hand.)
