 Bid a Hand by Matthias Huberschwiller

As usual, you will have to bid a whole hand on the theme of the first quiz.

Enjoy.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 6 5 2
♥ A K
♦ 8 6
♣ K Q 3 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
?--


 Your choice:
A: 1♠ - Some people like to open 1 NT with a 5-card major. It's an option when you have a 5-3-3-2 hand, but never with a 5-4-2-2 shape.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 6 5 2
♥ A K
♦ 8 6
♣ K Q 3 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2 NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♣ - You have quite a good hand, so you must describe your hand by showing your second suit, Clubs.

Your partner has used the Jacoby 2 NT, so he has a hand worth at least game and a four-card fit in Spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 6 5 2
♥ A K
♦ 8 6
♣ K Q 3 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2 NTPass
3♣Pass3♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♣ - By bidding 3♠ your partner has confirmed he wants to play a slam in Spades. You cannot go directly to Blackwood because you are missing a Diamond control.

Show your first control, in Clubs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 6 5 2
♥ A K
♦ 8 6
♣ K Q 3 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2 NTPass
3♣Pass3♠Pass
4♣Pass4♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4 NT - Now that you have all the suits controlled, you can bid Blackwood.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 6 5 2
♥ A K
♦ 8 6
♣ K Q 3 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2 NTPass
3♣Pass3♠Pass
4♣Pass4♦Pass
4 NTPass5♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 5♠ - You must stop in 5♠. You are missing one keycard and the trump Queen. That would be a bad slam.

Your partner's hand:

♠ J 7 4 3
♥ Q J 3
♦ A K Q
♣ A J 8

The slam would be on the Spades being 2-2, and the Ace onside (a 20% slam is not something you want to be in). You could even go down in 5 Spades if they split badly.

Your result so far:
