01: 2H 02: X (or PASS, as the J of spades is not worth much) 03: 2C 04: PASS (12 HCP, but no 5-card suit and only 2 clubs) 05: 2C 06: 2H (11 HCP and not the prettiest hearts, but nice distribution and long hearts) 07: PASS (hearts are tempting, but the spade points need to be downgraded) 08: X (too strong for 2C; with 16+ HCP, double "automatically") 09: PASS 10: 2C 11: X 12: 2D (missing a point, but have 6 diamonds) 13: 2H (or double) 14: X 15: 2H 16: 2C 17: PASS 18: 1NT (although a bit risky with weak spades) 19: PASS 20: 2C
