Problems, problems, problems

I had my second game of the year in the Russell Cup last night, playing with Arend for the first time. He moved to Edinburgh earlier this month but we've known each other for a few years. Not only did we met at a couple of Nationals but we both play on BBO and participate in the forums.

We did not impress, a couple of self-imposed disasters and matchpoint luck seemed to be against us. But there were some interesting hands, for both us and the opponents. All problems rotated so that South is the victim and all at matchpoints:


Your opening bid? (Your method after a two clubs opener is that two diamonds is waiting and two hearts is a double negative)


Your opening bid?


Do you rescue?


Your call?


Aside from reaching over the table and hitting partner, or CHO as he should definitely be called, what is your plan?



Your decision?
