AQ10 what do you bid?
You have a balanced hand with 12 HCP, bid 1NT forcing. Replace the 10 with the
J, to give you 13HCP. Now what? Still bid 1NT, do not bid 2
(you need five), and your hand is balanced. And do not bid 2NT (you need four spades).
With a balanced hand and 12-13 HCP bid 1NT over the major suit bid. If partner rebids spades or shows a 4-card suit, next bid 4 – game values with no interest in slam. If you play Combined Bergen raises you would bid 3
with the above hand showing a limit raise with three card supports in spades.

AQ1098 what do you now bid?
You have 13 points, bid 2 to show 13+ points and an unbalanced hand. However, if you replace the
Q with the
J, you would not bid 2
but 1NT forcing and then bid 3
to show a limit raise with three card support. Playing Combined Bergen raises , you would bid 3
, limit raise with three card supports for the bid major.
