 Overcalling After Both Opponents Have Bid by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, both opponents will have bid.

Will you overcall or not?

Good luck!

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ A K J 9 8
♥ 8 3
♦ 9 4 2
♣ J 7 4 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♦Pass1♥
?


 Your choice:
A: 1♠ - Even though both of your opponents have bid, you can still overcall with a weak hand at the 1-level, as long as you have a good 5-card suit.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 6 2
♥ 8 3
♦ A K 9 7
♣ Q 5 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♣Pass1♥
?


 Your choice:
A: Double - When they have bid two suits, a take-out double shows the other two suits (usually at least 4-4 shape, but exceptionally, you can be only 4-3).

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A Q J 8
♥ K 8 5
♦ 6 2
♣ Q 9 6 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♦Pass1♠
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - You could have doubled over 1♦, but after both opponents have bid, you are too weak to act, and you have only three Hearts. Doubling would be too risky.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ K Q 8 7 6 2
♥ 8
♦ Q 6 2
♣ J 7 3 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♦Pass1 NT
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - 2♠ would not be a preempt, but a constructive bid showing opening values. You could bid 3♠ with only six cards, but that would be really dangerous.

Pass first, and if you get the chance to bid at the two-level next time, then you might show your Spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ J 9 4
♥ A K J 9 8 5
♦ A 6 2
♣ 8 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♣Pass1♥
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♥ - Bidding responder's suit is natural, not a cue-bid. 2♣ instead would be a cue-bid, showing at least 5-5 shape in the other two suits.

Your result so far:
Open Question
