 Overcalling With A Weak Hand by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, you will have weak hands with which you might want to overcall.

Should you?

Good luck!

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ J 7 4
♥ A Q J 10 8
♦ 8 6
♣ 5 4 3 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♣
?


 Your choice:
A: 1♥ - You can overcall with so few points as long as you have a good 5-card suit, and as long as the overcall is at the one-level.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ J 5 4 3 2
♥ Q 7
♦ K 7 5
♣ A 3 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - This time, you have 10 points, but a really bad Spade suit. You need to pass, since overcalling might put your partner onto a bad lead.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ 8
♥ A Q 8 5 4 2
♦ 8 6 5
♣ 9 5 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♣
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♥ - With six cards and a weak hand, make a pre-emptive overcall.

Jumping to 2♥ shows the same sort of hand as a 2♥ opener would.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 8
♥ A Q J 5 4 2
♦ 8 7 4
♣ 10 6 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♠
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - 2♥ would not be a preempt without a jump. It would be a natural overcall, showing at least 10 points. Maybe you'll be able to bid your Hearts later.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ Q 8 5 2
♥ K 6 5 4
♦ A 9 7 2
♣ 6 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♣
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Even though your distribution would be perfect for a take-out double, you don't have enough strength (you need opening values). You need to pass.

Your result so far:
Open Question
