Inverted Minors Quiz
Partner opens 1♣. You hold: ♠72 ♥32 ♦843 ♣KJT965
—> What is your bid?
With no 4 card major, only 4HCP, and a 6 card support in the opening minor bid, you should make a preemptive jump to 3 level and bid 3♣.
Partner opens 1♣. You hold: ♠A84 ♥K73 ♦56 ♣KJT64
—> What is your bid?
With 11HCP + 1 length, you have an invitational hand and support in clubs. So start with 2♣ bid to learn whether your partner has stopper in the other suits. You are especially interested to learn whether they have a diamond stopper.
Partner opens 1♦. You hold: ♠A8 ♥5432 ♦AKQJT ♣54
—> What is your bid?
Yes, you have great support in your partner’s diamond suit, but what is our priority? To find an 8 card major suit fit. So, bid your ugly 4 card heart suit not your strong diamond suit.
Partner opens 1♣. Next opponent bid 1♥. You hold: ♠J654 ♥A5 ♦7 ♣KQJ54
—> What is your bid?
What is our priority? Majors. How can we show 4 card spades after a 1 heart overcall? By using the Responder’s Double. If you got this one wrong, please go over the Responder’s Double quiz.
You open 1♣, opponent passes and your partner bids 2♣, and next opponent spasses. You hold: ♠QT85 ♥AJ2 ♦875 ♣AK5
—> What is your bid?
After a 2 level Inverted Minor Raise, we start to show our stoppers up the bidding line. We do not have a diamond stopper. So we skip over the 2♦ bid and we bid 2♥. Should we bid 2♠ to show our 4 card major? No. Responder does not have 4 cards in spades. If they had it, they would have bid 1♠ instead of 2♣. If we bid 2♠ now, we would be denying a heart stopper and showing a spade stopper.
