 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
♠ 7
♥ A Q 6 5 2
♦ K 6
♣ K 8 5 3 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
?--


 Your choice:
A: 1♥ - With a 5-5 two-suiter, open the highest-ranked suit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ 7
♥ A Q 6 5 2
♦ K 6
♣ K 8 5 3 2 		 
Q: 2 - How many Spades has North shown?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass1♠


 Your choice:
A: At least 4 - But he could have a lot more. He has at least 5 points, but is also unlimited in terms of points. That is why this bid is forcing; you cannot pass, whatever you have.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ 7
♥ A Q 6 5 2
♦ K 6
♣ K 8 5 3 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♣ - Bid your second suit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 7
♥ A Q 6 5 2
♦ K 6
♣ K 8 5 3 2 		 
Q: 4 - Is your partner's 3♣ bid forcing or non-forcing?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass1♠Pass
2♣Pass3♣


 Your choice:
A: Non-forcing - It shows a Club fit with invitational values. With a strong hand, North should start with a Fourth-suit Forcing 2♦ bid.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 7
♥ A Q 6 5 2
♦ K 6
♣ K 8 5 3 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass1♠Pass
2♣Pass3♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Your partner has shown 8-11 points with a Club fit. You don't have game-going values, so you need to pass.

Your partner's hand:
♠ A Q 3 2
♥ 9 7
♦ 4 3 2
♣ A 9 7 4

You will have to set up the Hearts. You could lose a Heart, one or two Diamonds (depending on the location of the Ace), and zero to two Clubs (depending on the break, which will often be 3-1, so one loser).

You will often make nine tricks in Clubs by ruffing the Hearts, whereas you would be hoping for a miracle to make 3 NT since you would have to make nine tricks without giving back the lead.

Your result so far:
Open Question
