 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
♠ 9
♥ A K Q J 5
♦ A K 3
♣ A Q J 6 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - With 18 or more points, you need to start with a strong hand double. Your partner will respond as if you had made a classic take-out double, and then you'll show your strength on the second round.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ 9
♥ A K Q J 5
♦ A K 3
♣ A Q J 6 		 
Q: 2 - What is North's point range?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
DoublePass1♠


 Your choice:
A: 0-7 points - As North is forced to respond, he could have zero points, and he is limited to seven points. Therefore, his bid is non-forcing. With eight or more points, he would bid something else.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ 9
♥ A K Q J 5
♦ A K 3
♣ A Q J 6 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
DoublePass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♦ - If you bid 2♥ now, you would be showing five Hearts and 18-22 points. That would not be forcing.

Here, you have game in your own hand, so you need to cue-bid first.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 9
♥ A K Q J 5
♦ A K 3
♣ A Q J 6 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
DoublePass1♠Pass
2♦Pass2♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♥ - Now you can tell your partner about your five Hearts in a forcing way.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 9
♥ A K Q J 5
♦ A K 3
♣ A Q J 6 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
DoublePass1♠Pass
2♦Pass2♠Pass
3♥Pass4♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Your partner could still have zero points; you have forced him to bid.

Your partner's hand:
♠ 7 6 5 4 2
♥ 8 4 2
♦ 7 4
♣ 9 5 3

4♥ is the perfect contract. You'll be able to ruff a Diamond and set up at least one Club trick (maybe more if they split).

Your result so far:
Open Question
