Good luck!



Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ 8
♥ K Q J 8 6 2
♦ 8 6 3
♣ 9 5 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?

 Your choice:
A: 2♥ - Of course you need to open a weak 2♥. It shows a good 6-card Heart suit and a weak hand (fewer than 10 points).

It's called a preemptive bid, since it takes your opponents' bidding space away.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand

♥ 10 9 8 7 6 2
♦ A K 3
♣ 9 5 2

 Your choice:
A: Pass - This time, your Heart suit is too bad to open. You might bid the Hearts later if your partner opens the bidding.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A 9 6
♥ A 4
♦ 9 6 3 2
♣ A 8 5 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?

?--


 Your choice:
A: 1♦ - With 12 points, you have no reason to pass, especially with Aces. They are the best cards you can have.

With 4-4 in the minors, you need to open 1♦, even though the Clubs are better.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 9 6 5 2
♥ Q 10 6 3
♦ 8
♣ 9 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
?--


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Your Spade suit is okay for a preemptive bid, but you have four cards in the other major. That's a problem for opening 2♠. You would never find a Heart fit.

Pass and try to bid on the next round.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 6 2
♥ 8 6 2
♦ 8 3
♣ Q 6 2

 Your choice:
A: 1♠ - In third position, you can open lighter than usual, when you have a good five-card suit.

It tells partner what to lead, and you might win the bidding if your partner has around 10 points.

Your result so far:
Open Question
