 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 J 8 5
♥ 9 3
♦ A K 5
♣ K Q 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♥
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - You have too many points for a direct Spade overcall. You need to start with a take-out double and show your strong hand later.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 8 5
♥ 9 3
♦ A K 5
♣ K Q 2 		 
Q: 2 - What are you showing with your double?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♥
Double


 Your choice:
A: Opening values and shortness in Hearts - And at least 3 cards in every unbid suit.

There is an exception to that; when doubling with at least 18 points (a strong hand double), you can double without any distributional restraints.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 8 5
♥ 9 3
♦ A K 5
♣ K Q 2 		 
Q: 3 - How many points has your partner shown?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♥
DoublePass3♣


 Your choice:
A: 0-7 - There is not a right and a wrong answer to this question; it depends on the system you play. If you play nothing special, 3♣ shows 0-7 points, a weak hand. If you play the system called Lebensohl, partner can bid 2 NT with 0-7, so 3♣ shows 8-10 points.

Discuss that with your partner.

For the remaining questions, we will suppose you play nothing special and 3♣ shows 0-7.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 8 5
♥ 9 3
♦ A K 5
♣ K Q 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♥
DoublePass3♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♠ - Doubling and then bidding your own suit shows at least 18 points and a five-card suit. That's a perfect description of your hand, isn't it?

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 8 5
♥ 9 3
♦ A K 5
♣ K Q 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♥
DoublePass3♣Pass
3♠Pass4♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Your partner has shown Spade support, but he still has a weak hand. Play in 4♠.

Your partner's hand:

♠ Q 7 2
♥ 8 7 4 2
♦ 9 4
♣ A 8 7 3

That's a great hand for 4♠. You have two Heart losers and might lose a trump via a trump promotion if West has four spades, but your contract seems to be safe.

Your result so far:
Open Question
