Scoring: XIMP

1♦-P-1♥-Dbl
2♦-2♠-Dbl-P
3♦-P-3NT-Dbl
AP


I don't agree with doubling 2♠ but thats what my partner did. Anyway now you would reach 3NT anyway, now you have to make it.

T1-♠5-♠3-♠K-♠A
T2-♦3-♦2-?

As usual, adv/exp please reply hidden.

7, catering to either Tx or Kx on my left. I pretty much need one of those two cards to fall under my ace next round, though.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Playing the queen caters for any king onside as well as a long king on your right and all 3-3's. Loses to short king on your right. Playing the nine caters for any ten onside or long ten on your right, loses to short ten on your right, but in addition, loses to 3-3 with ten offside.

Playing the ten loses in one more case than playing the queen so I think playing the queen is right.
