 Overcalls by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, your right-hand-opponent will have opened the bidding.

Will you overcall or not?

Good luck!

Question 1

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


 Your choice:
A: 1♥ - Yes, you have only 8 points, which is the minimum for a 1-level overcall. You need to have a nice suit, which you have, to be able to overcall with such a weak hand.

Even if you don't buy the contract, you will have suggested a good lead to your partner.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A K
♥ 9 6 3 2
♦ K J 9 2
♣ A J 7 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♥
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - You have no suit to overcall in, and you can't bid 1NT without a Heart stopper. You can't double either, with only two Spades and length in Hearts.

Passing over an opening bid does not mean "I don't have points", it means "I don't have a bid to make".
