Bidding With a Weak Hand Facing Opener's Two-suiter by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, you will have responded to your partner's opening bid with a weak hand, and he will have bid another suit.

You will need to tell partner that you have a weak hand - you don't want him to jump to game!

Good luck!

Question 5

Your Hand
♠ Q J 10 3 2
♥ 8 3
♦ K 6 2
♣ 8 6 2

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♥	Pass
1♠	Pass	2♦	Pass
?

A: 2♥ - This one is difficult. You can't rebid Spades with 5 cards. You need to choose between Diamonds and Hearts. You know your side has at least 7 of each suit, but you need to choose Hearts. With 7 trumps, it's easier to play in a 5-2 fit than in a 4-3 fit.
