 Bid a Hand by Matthias Huberschwiller

You will have a hand to bid through a complete auction.

Will you get all the bids right?

Good luck!

Question 1

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


 Your choice:
A: 1♥ - There's no reason to hurry with a strong hand. Take your time and try to find a fit.

You might be heading to game or to slam. It's not a problem to bid slowly, as long as all your bids are forcing.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A K
♥ K J 8 5 2
♦ Q 10
♣ A 10 6 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♣Pass
1♥Pass3♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♠ - Your partner has shown an intermediate opening with four Hearts. You want to try a slam, but you can't bid Blackwood unless you know your side has a control in every side-suit.

You need to cue-bid your first control, in Spades, and try to find out if your partner has a Diamond control.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K
♥ K J 8 5 2
♦ Q 10
♣ A 10 6 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♣Pass
1♥Pass3♥Pass
3♠Pass4♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4 NT - Now that your partner has told you about his Diamond control, you can bid Blackwood to check how many keycards he has.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A K
♥ K J 8 5 2
♦ Q 10
♣ A 10 6 2 		 
Q: 4 - How many keycards does your partner have? Which one(s)?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♣Pass
1♥Pass3♥Pass
3♠Pass4♦Pass
4 NTPass5♠


 Your choice:
A: Two keys plus the Queen of Hearts - Your partner has the Aces of Hearts and Diamonds, and the Queen of Hearts.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A K
♥ K J 8 5 2
♦ Q 10
♣ A 10 6 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♣Pass
1♥Pass3♥Pass
3♠Pass4♦Pass
4 NTPass5♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 6♥ - You have all the keycards. You could try for a grand slam, but remember, your partner does not have a Club control (he bypassed 4♣). Therefore, the ♣K is missing, and it would not be reasonable to bid a grand slam without the King in your main outside suit.

Your partner's hand:
♠ 2
♥ A Q 7 6
♦ A K 7
♣ Q J 9 8 7

If the Club finesse works, you will make an overtrick. If not, you will make 6. This is the perfect contract.

Your result so far:
Open Question
