Bidding Facing A Two-suiter (1/3) by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, your partner will have opened and then bid a second suit at the two-level, and you will have to bid.

You have responded in a major, which promised at least 4 cards, but you have more. Will you rebid your major or not?

Good luck!

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♦	Pass
1♠	Pass	2♣	Pass
?

A: 2♦ - You cannot repeat your major with only five cards because your partner could have a singleton.

Question 3

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

Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♦	Pass
1♠	Pass	2♣	Pass
?

A: 2♥ - You still cannot repeat your Spades with only five cards, and you have game-going values. You could go to 3 NT, but you might have a Spade fit

Therefore, you have to use Fourth-suit Forcing to show your strength. if North rebids 2♠, you will go to 4♠. If not, you will go to 3 NT.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 4

Your Hand
♠ 8
♥ A Q 10 9 8 5
♦ 6 4 2
♣ A 7 4

Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♦	Pass
1♥	Pass	2♣	Pass
?

A: 3♥ - You are too strong for a 2♥ rebid. Jump to 3♥ instead. You are showing 10-11 points with at least six Hearts. It's encouraging, but non-forcing.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 5

Your Hand
♠ A J 9 7 4 2
♥ 8
♦ A K 6
♣ J 8 4

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♥	Pass
1♠	Pass	2♣	Pass
?

A: 2♦ - You are too strong to rebid your Spades; 2 or 3 Spades would not be forcing.

Start with Fourth-suit Forcing, intending to rebid your Spades on the next round (to show 6 of them with a hand worth at least game).
