 Better or worse? by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, you won't have to make any bids.

You'll look at a few hands and your partner's opening bid.

You will have to tell if your hand is worth more or less than its point count suggests, in the view of a slam.

Good luck.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ 8
♥ Q 6 5 2
♦ A K 9 5
♣ A 6 5 2 		 
Q: 1 - You are South. Is your hand better or worse than its point count suggests?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♥


 Your choice:
A: Better - You have a very good hand. All your points are working and you have a singleton.

Queens don't have great potential for slams, but in your future Trump suit the Queen is working.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ 6 2
♥ A Q 6 5 2
♦ A Q 3
♣ K Q J 		 
Q: 2 - You are South. Is your hand better or worse than its point count suggests?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♠


 Your choice:
A: Worse - You have quite a strong hand, but you must downgrade it a little. You have nothing to support pard's suit, and Queens in all the other suits.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K 4 2
♥ 6
♦ A K Q 6
♣ A K 6 3 		 
Q: 3 - You are South. Is your hand better or worse than its point count suggests?
SouthWestNorthEast
--2♥


 Your choice:
A: Worse - You have a very strong hand, but you have a problem: You don't have a fit.

Of course, this hand can only be played in Hearts, since your partner's hand would be useless otherwise. But for making a Slam, you'll need him to have only one trump loser opposite a singleton.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 4 2
♥ 6
♦ A K 9 2
♣ A K 8 3 		 
Q: 4 - You are South. Is your hand better or worse than its point count suggests?
SouthWestNorthEast
--4♥


 Your choice:
A: Neither - This hand is quite strong, and you won't have any losers outside trumps. Your partner should have 8 trumps, so everything will depend on his suit quality.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ /
♥ A 6 5 2
♦ K 8 7 6 2
♣ 8 6 5 2 		 
Q: 5 - You are South. Is your hand better or worse than its point count suggests?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♠2 NT


 Your choice:
A: Better - This hand is absolutely wonderful. Even though you have only 7 HCPs, you have a good shot at slam. Picture your partner with 2 small Spades, five Diamonds to the Ace, and the Ace-King of Clubs. Eleven points of his, and you would even have a shot at a Grand Slam.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 6

  Your Hand
♠ A K J
♥ 7 6 5 3 2
♦ A K
♣ 9 6 2 		 
Q: 6 - You are South. Is your hand better or worse than its point count suggests?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1 NT


 Your choice:
A: Worse - You have 15 points, but your long suit is quite awful. Even if your partner has a maximum hand, it will be hard to make 12 tricks.

Your result so far:
Open Question
