 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 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♦1♥
?


 Your choice:
A: 1♠ - No problem bidding your 5-card Spade suit. Note that this promises five cards, otherwise you would double, which shows four Spades.

Your result so far:
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
--1♦1♠
?


 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
--1♦1♠
?


 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
--1♦1♠
?


 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
--1♦1♠
?


 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
