 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 Q 5 2
♥ K 3
♦ Q 8 7
♣ A J 8 5 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♣PassPass
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - In the balancing position, 1 NT shows 4 points fewer than it would in the direct seat; about 12-14. With more points, start with a strong-hand double.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 5 2
♥ K 3
♦ Q 8 7
♣ A J 8 5 		 
Q: 2 - How many points is North showing?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♣PassPass
DoublePass1♥


 Your choice:
A: 0-11 - Since a balancing double can be made with 8 points, North cannot jump with 8 points. Therefore, 1♥ shows 0-11, instead of the normal 0-7 when responding to a take-out double in the direct seat.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 5 2
♥ K 3
♦ Q 8 7
♣ A J 8 5 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♣PassPass
DoublePass1♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 1 NT - Doubling and then bidding 1 NT shows a hand too strong for a direct 1 NT balancing bid (which would show 12-14). Therefore, you are showing 15-17 points.

Your result so far:
Open Question
