Bidding Facing A Two-suiter (2/3) 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 will have only four cards in your major, with a lot of points. What are you going to do?

Good luck!

Question 1

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

Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?

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

A: 3 NT - You have game-going values and a stopper in the fourth suit. You don't have a major-suit fit, so you can bid 3 NT, the contract you want to play.

Question 2

Your Hand
♠ A K Q 5
♥ 9 4 2
♦ 5 4 2
♣ A Q 6

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

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

A: 2♥ - This time, you would also like to play 3 NT, but you don't have a Heart stopper. You need to use Fourth-suit Forcing, 2♥, to ask your partner about his hand.

If he has a Heart stopper, he will be 2 NT, and you will be able to play 3 NT. Otherwise, you will have to play a suit-contract game (or even slam if your partner has extra values).

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 3

Your Hand
♠ A K 8 5
♥ 6
♦ J 5 4
♣ A K 8 5 3

Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?

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

A: 2♥ - You want to play a contract in Clubs. Even a slam is possible, but 3♣ wouldn't be forcing.

You could bid 4♣, but it's better to start with Fourth-suit Forcing, to learn more about your partner's hand, and then tell him about your Club fit (it will then be forcing to game).

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 4

Your Hand
♠ A K 5 2
♥ Q 8 5 3 2
♦ 4
♣ K 5 2

Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

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

A: 4♦ - You can make a splinter bid to show a Spade fit, game values and a singleton Diamond. Your partner will be able to decide whether you should play a slam, or stop in 4♠.

Your result so far:

Open Question

Question 5

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

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

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

A: 3 NT - Even though you have only 4 small Spades, you need to bid 3 NT. When you have bid a suit, you are considered to have a stop there, even with 4 small cards.
