 Should You Overcall? by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, an opponent will have opened and you might want to act.

Will you? If so, what are you going to bid?

Good luck!

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ A Q J 8 7
♥ 6 5
♦ 7 5 3
♣ 9 3 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♥
?


 Your choice:
A: 1♠ - This is the bare minimum for an overcall, with a good five-card suit.

This might help your partner find a good lead, or you might reach a good contract, or maybe find a sacrifice contract if partner has a good Spade fit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

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


 Your choice:
A: Pass - What else can you do? You cannot double with two Hearts, you cannot bid 1♠ on only four cards, and you don't have enough points, nor a Diamond stopper, for 1 NT.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ K 6 2
♥ 6 2
♦ K Q J 7 6
♣ 9 4 3 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♣
?


 Your choice:
A: 1♦ - You can overcall 1♦ with a weak hand too, if you have a good suit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

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


 Your choice:
A: Double - You are too strong for a 1♥ overcall, which is limited to 17 points.

Start with a take-out double. Whatever your partner bids, you will show your Hearts on the next round.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

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


 Your choice:
A: 1♥ - Yes I know, 1♥ sould show five of them, but do you really want to pass and let the opponents bid their Spades without telling your partner about your great Hearts? I don't!

Your result so far:
Open Question
