You are P1, the Forehand, and nobody has spoken yet: the first word of the bidding is yours.

Your hand












What do you say?
Answer
Pass. The Skus, the XX and the XVIII at 2 each, the XIII and the IX at 1 each, and three Kings make a 12-count of 11, one short of the Blind Solo’s 12. No-Trump wants about 25 Card Points in hand, and these twelve cards hold 20. Your pass is not final: the Forehand may still bid when the turn comes around again.
Rule: The Blind Solo: 12 or more, counted before the six blind cards arrive. The Forehand may pass at the very start and still bid later.
