 How much is your hand worth? by Frank Stewart

How much is your hand worth?

And have you shown already what you have?

What should you do with these five hands?

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ 10 9 8 3 2
♥ 10 6
♦ A 7
♣ Q J 9 7 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♥Pass
1♠Pass2♦Pass
2♥Pass3♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♣: Partner is still trying for game despite your lack of encouragement, and his third bid improves your hand. You have no wasted spade honors opposite his shortness. Your hand is worth five clubs, but since his pattern might be 1-5-4-3, raise to only four clubs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ Q 10 8
♥ Q 3
♦ A J 9 8 7
♣ A 9 5 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♦Pass1♥Pass
1NTPass2NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3NT: You have only 13 points in high cards -- close to a minimum -- but your hand is worth substantially more. You have a five-card suit, and your intermediate spot cards are magnificent. Tens and nines that add "body" to your hand are especially useful for play at notrump, Bid 3NT.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K 3 2
♥ Q 5 3
♦ Q 7
♣ K 6 5 3 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♣Pass1♥Pass
1♠Pass1NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass: You cannot show your heart support. You have no reason to think a heart contract will be playable; partner may have a poor four-card suit. Moreover, your values are minimum, and if you bid a third time, you would suggest extra strength and game interest.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 6 5
♥ A K 10 4
♦ K 7 2
♣ K J 8 3 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♦Pass
1♥Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3NT: When you can place the contract or suggest a contract, don't shirk your responsibility. Bid 3NT. You have no reason to show the clubs. (You would be showing them only to the opponents.) You aren't interested in playing at clubs or in having partner show delayed heart support.


Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A 9 3
♥ A
♦ 10 9 8 3 2
♣ K J 5 3 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♥Pass
2♦Pass2♥Pass
2NTPass3♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass: Your partner's auction suggests a weak, unbalanced hand. He is looking for a safe place to play below game. Pass. Partner's hand may be 4, K Q 8 7 6 2, A 7 5, Q 4 2. To try three hearts or even four hearts might work well, but to bid 3NT would be a breach of discipline.

Your result so far:
