bidding practice
You have awesome variety in dealing hands for bidding practice. You can deal random hands of course. You can specify which hand is first to bid, and the vulnerability. You can force any bid at any position, or ask Buff to make the bid.
You also can design specific hands as follows:

and you can ask Buff at any time what bid it would make.
