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


 Your choice:
A: Double - The 1NT overcall shows 16-18 points. With more than that, you need to start with a strong-hand double and show your strength later on.

For now, your partner will think you have 12 or more points and support for all the other suits.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

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


 Your choice:
A: 0-7 - He has to answer, even with 0 points. With 8 or more, he should make a jump to show a nice hand.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

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


 Your choice:
A: 1 NT - By bidding a new strain, you are already showing at least 18 points.

Here, you are showing the range above a direct 1NT overcall (which would be 16-18): 19-21 points.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 5
♥ Q 3
♦ A J 2
♣ K J 8 5 		 
Q: 4 - Is your partner's bid encouraging or not?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♣
DoublePass1♥Pass
1 NTPass2♥


 Your choice:
A: Discouraging - He knows you have 19-21 points, but he's still gone back to his suit.

He would have jumped if he had some points (a maximum for his 0-7 range).

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 5
♥ Q 3
♦ A J 2
♣ K J 8 5 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♣
DoublePass1♥Pass
1 NTPass2♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Don't bid again. You have already told partner about your strength and he's said he does not want to go further.

Your partner's hand:
♠ 8 7 2
♥ 10 9 8 6 5 4
♦ 4 3
♣ 9 3

To make even 2♥, partner will have to find some working finesses, and with 21 points missing, you cannot be sure they will work. Cross your fingers!

No No-trump contract, nor any contract above 2♥, would stand a chance of making.

Your result so far:
Open Question
