What is the lowest suit in bridge?
Clubs. The rank order of suits from lowest to highest is Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades. This means that after 1 Club is bid, it is possible for 1 of any of the other suits to be bid. But if, say, 1 Heart is bid it is only possible to bid 1 Spade, 2 Clubs, 2 Diamonds, or some higher bid.
What to bid if your partner opens and you have an opening hand?
In short, make a forcing bid! Depending on system, opener may have many possible ranges of points and you need to make a bid that is both forcing and continues the bidding conversation to get to the best contract. If opener bids 1 of a suit, this can typically have a fairly wide range (unless playing some form of big club system). So if as responder you have an opening hand, you might belong in game or slam. Some examples: Assume opener bids 1 of a suit (natural) a) bid 1 of a suit (higher ranking than opener's of course). This is 100% forcing for at least 1 round b) bid 2 of a suit (lower ranking than opener's...e.g. over 1H bid 2C). In Standard American bidding this is 100% forcing for 1 round and shows at least an invitational hand. In 2/1 this is forcing to game (unless you have specific agreements about ways to stop in certain situations) c) make a forcing raise (e.g. Jacoby forcing raise of 1 of a major is to bid 2NT) d) jump straight to game (e.g. over 1D, bid 3NT if you do not have 4 of either major suit but have them stopped). Opener is not barred from continuing if they have a big hand.
What is a short club and how do you answer it?
A "Short Club" in American 5-Card Standard bridge (and there may be other standards as well) is an opening bid which could show a hand holding as few as only 2 Clubs. It is used for an opening-point hand which does not have a five-card major, nor a 1NT point-count and distribution. The classic responses are: If played as a forcing bid (i.e., you cannot pass), with less than 6 pts, bid 1D. If not forcing with 0-5, pass. 6-9 points: Bid a four+-card major, or without a 4-card major, bid five-card diamond on the one-level (if not playing forcing), raise to 2 Clubs if holding 5+clubs or 1NT if balanced with 3+clubs and no four-card major. 10+ points: Bid a four+-card major, or without a 4-card major, bid a five-card diamond (at 1 or 2 level with interferring bid) or 2NT if balanced with 3+clubs and no four-card major. Most play "better of the minors" or "convenient minor" where, without a 5-card major, if 1 Club, is opened, it would never be as short as two: either the other minor (diamonds) will have three or more cards and/or you would have a five-card major which would be opened instead.
What is phony club in the game of bridge?
This is a convention allowing an opener with an 'opening hand' (12 + HCP) to make a bid, in the absence of a 'biddable' suit (5 card major, 4 card diamonds). This is an artificial bid, and does not reflect length in clubs.To prevent the partnership from being stuck in an untenable 1 club contract, an artificial 1 diamond convention is often employed along with the 'phony club'. Partner responds 1 diamond with less than 6 points, leaving it to the opener to decide on the trumps.
Which partner gets to play the bridge hand after they win the bidding?
The partner who plays (The Declarer) is the one who first mentioned the suit that ends up as the trump suit. Example: South bids 1 Club. North, his partner, responds by bidding 1 Heart. If the final, winning bid is in Clubs, South will play because South was the first one to mention Clubs. North will be the Dummy. If the final, winning bid is in Hearts, North will play and South will be the Dummy. If the final, winning bid is in No Trump, Diamonds or Clubs, whichever partner mentioned it first is the one who plays.
