Responding to an Overcall of a Weak Two by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, your partner will have bid over a weak two from your opponents.

Will you make the right response?

Good luck!

Question 1

Your Hand
♠ 6 5 4 2
♥ 8 3
♦ 7 6 5
♣ 9 8 4 2

Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	2♥	Double	Pass
?

A: 2♠ - You need to answer, even with zero points!

Your partner has shown shortness in Hearts and tolerance for every other suit. Your opponents can probably make 2♥, so 2♥X would be the worst contract to play. Bid your four-card Spade suit.

Question 2

Your Hand
♠ K 6
♥ Q 6 2
♦ J 5 2
♣ A Q 9 6 3

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	2♠	Double	Pass
?

A: 3 NT - You have enough points for a game. You cannot bid 3♣, which you could bid with nothing.

You have a Spade stopper, so bid 3NT. It will be easier to make than 5♣.

Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East

Question 5

Your Hand
♠ 8 3
♥ A Q 10 9 2
♦ K 6 5
♣ J 4 2

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	2♥	Double	Pass
?

A: Pass - This is the only case where you can pass a take-out double, with a long and strong Heart suit.

Your opponents will play 2♥X. What a catastrophe for them; they will surely go a lot down.
