Responding to a Reverse by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, your partner will have made a reverse and you will need to bid.

Remember, a reverse shows at least 5-4 in the two suits and is forcing, with at least 16 or 17 points.

Good luck!

Question 3

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

Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?

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

A: 2♠ - Bidding your Spades again after a reverse is drastically different to rebidding your suit after an economic two-suited bid (such as 2♣ on this sequence). Here, 2♠ shows only five cards and is forcing one round.

If your partner raises Spades, you will bid 4♠. Otherwise, you will go for the No-trump game.

Question 5

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

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

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

A: 2 NT - You can't bid 3♦ because that would be forcing to game. 2 NT is the bid to show weakness. Your partner will bid 3♣, which you will be able to convert to 3♦ (or pass if you wanted to play in 3♣).
