 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 8 5 2
♥ A 4 3
♦ A K 8 2
♣ 6 		 
Q: 1 - How many Hearts does North have?
SouthWestNorthEast
--3♥


 Your choice:
A: 7 - A three-level opening shows a nice seven-card suit, with fewer than 10 points.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

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


 Your choice:
A: 4 NT - Opposite a pre-emptive opening, 4 NT is Blackwood, agreeing Hearts as trumps.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K 8 5 2
♥ A 4 3
♦ A K 8 2
♣ 6 		 
Q: 3 - Before going further, how many trumps does your side have?
SouthWestNorthEast
--3♥Pass
4 NT


 Your choice:
A: 10 - Yes, you have a ten card fit. That's great, isn't it?

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

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


 Your choice:
A: 7♥ - You have all the keycards, but are missing the Queen of Hearts. However, you can still bid 7♥ because you know you have a 10-card fit, therefore having the Queen is not necessary (all of the Hearts will probably fall in two rounds).

You can count two Spade tricks, seven Hearts, two Diamonds, one Club, and a Club ruff; 13 tricks!

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A K 8 5 2
♥ A 4 3
♦ A K 8 2
♣ 6 		 
Q: 5 - Your partner's hand :
♠ 3
♥ K J 9 8 7 6 2
♦ 6 5 4
♣ A 2

You have 13 tricks by ruffing a Club, but that's if Hearts are 2-1.

How would you play the Hearts?
SouthWestNorthEast
--3♥Pass
4 NTPass5♥Pass
7♥PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: Start with the Ace - You can only capture a tripleton Queen if it's in West's hand. Therefore, you need to start with the Ace.

If hearts are 2-1, you'll be fine. If West has three of them, you will play low to the Jack, ruff a Club, and then come back to the North hand to draw the last trump.

Your result so far:
Open Question
