 Bidding After An Overcall by Matthias Huberschwiller

Your partner has opened the bidding and an opponent has bid a suit.

This adds a new bid, the double. You can use it when you can't make a natural bid.


Question 1

  Your Hand
 A K 6 3 2
 7 3
 9 6
 J 7 3 2

--11
?

Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
 A 6 2
 K Q 6 2
 J 9 6 4
 3 2
 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--11
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - When an opponent overcalls 1, double shows at least four Hearts.

You can't bid 2, since that would show at least 10 points and at least five Hearts.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
 7 6 2
 Q 6
 A J 6 5 2
 6 4 3
 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--11
?


 Your choice:
A: 2 - You have a Diamond fit and would have bid 2 without the overcall. Bid it anyway.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
 A Q 10
 7 2
 J 7 3 2
 A K 9 3
 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--11
?


 Your choice:
A: 3 NT - You know you want to play 3 NT, so bid it. Don't worry about the Hearts. When an opponent has bid, you should only worry about a stopper in their suit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
 7 6 2
 K 2
 A K 7 3 2
 A 9 3
 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--11
?


 Your choice:
A: 2 - The cue-bid shows a strong hand (at least invitational) with a Diamond fit. If your partner has a Spade stopper, you'll be able to play in No-Trumps. If not, you'll play a Diamond game.

Your result so far:
Open Question
