 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 9 6 5 2
♥ Q 5
♦ A K J
♣ A 6 3 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - A natural 1♠ overcall would be limited to 17 points. With more, start with a strong-hand double.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A 9 6 5 2
♥ Q 5
♦ A K J
♣ A 6 3 		 
Q: 2 - How many points has your partner shown?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
DoublePass1♥


 Your choice:
A: 0-7 - He has to respond, even with 0 points. With at least 8, he should jump.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

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


 Your choice:
A: 1♠ - Doubling then bidding Spades is natural, showing at least 18 points. With fewer points, you would have overcalled 1♠ initially.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A 9 6 5 2
♥ Q 5
♦ A K J
♣ A 6 3 		 
Q: 4 - How many Spades are you showing? Is 1♠ forcing?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
DoublePass1♥Pass
1♠


 Your choice:
A: At least 5 - Non-forcing - It's like an overcall, but delayed, so you need five cards to bid Spades on the second round too.

You are showing a strong hand (at least 18 points), but only up to 22, otherwise you would make a cue-bid before showing your Spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

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


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Your partner knows you have at least 18 points and he has bid game; great!

Your partner's hand:
♠ Q J 10
♥ 8 7 4 3 2
♦ 5 3
♣ K 10 2

You will lose two Hearts, and if everything goes well, you will even make 11 tricks.

You will go to dummy with the King of Clubs, take the Diamond finesse, discard dummy's Club on a Diamond, ruff a Club, and take the Spade finesse.

East has opened, so there's a good chance that both finesses will work.

Your result so far:
Open Question
