South: your partner has bid 2 Spades over LHO's 1 Heart opening bid. What do you think he has in his hand?
Answer
After a jump overcall, he must have 6 spades. But his hand could be as weak as 6 HCP.
- Question
2
You've got 9 points, so if partner has 6 HCP, making 15 in total for North-Soutb, the enemy could have 25. What should you now bid? Pass? 4 Spades? Doubled? 5 Spades?

Answer
A 4 Spades bid would be the "limit of the fit" after a 6-card Weak Jump Overcall from partner at North. And we're not vulnerable, so maybe even a 5 Spade bid might be a good sacrifice, to prevent them from bidding and making 4 Hearts.
