 Bid a Hand by Matthias Huberschwiller

Let's do our usual Bid a Hand quiz.

Good luck.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ A K 5 2
♥ K Q 9 8 2
♦ A
♣ 9 6 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
?--


 Your choice:
A: 1♥ - No problem with the opening. Some people may open 1 NT with a five-card major, but only on a 5-3-3-2 hand, and never with a singleton.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A K 5 2
♥ K Q 9 8 2
♦ A
♣ 9 6 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass2♣Pass
?

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K 5 2
♥ K Q 9 8 2
♦ A
♣ 9 6 2 		 
Q: 3 - Is your partner's bid forcing or non-forcing?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass2♣Pass
2♠Pass3♥


 Your choice:
A: Forcing - You have shown a reverse opposite a 10-point or better hand. This sequence is forcing to game, so your partner's 3♥ bid is forcing, and encouraging to go to slam.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A K 5 2
♥ K Q 9 8 2
♦ A
♣ 9 6 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass2♣Pass
2♠Pass3♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♠ - Now it's time to check for controls in each side-suit. You control both Spades and Diamonds, but not Clubs.

Even though it's your partner's suit, you need to check for a control in Clubs. Your partner could have bid them with Queen-Jack-x-x-x-(x), and still have two immediate losers there.

You bid your first-round control in Spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question
