Www .Geelong.Bridge-Club .Org GEELONG BRIDGE CLUB NEWSLETTER VOLUME 10, ISSUE 2 M a y 2 0 2 1 From the President 148-152 Portarlington Road, Newcomb VIC WELCOME BACK! PO Box 1546 Geelong VIC 3220 We are well and truly back to normal, currently running six sessions (03) 5248 2978 per week, including two popular supervised play sessions, Tues morning and Thursday evening. Recently, with Pizza Sunday included, we ran seven sessions in one week. Dot Read, with assistance from Geoff, has recently completed two training courses, following which 25 new members joined the club. This is a great result. The Thursday night supervised play is catering for new members who still work and will continue until July. After that they will be ready to play Wednesday evenings, albeit with initial help from mentors. Disappointingly, a relatively new member recently resigned. I phoned to find out why, and was informed she club.org - was treated harshly when she played on a Thursday. It is totally against the club’s ethos to treat anyone, and especially new players, harshly or with disrespect, regardless of them perhaps playing poorly. A huge effort has gone into getting and fostering new members. We don’t want this undone by one or two discourteous members. For many years we have used the bridge scoring software ASE 9, and it has served us very well. However it is no longer supported with software updates, and is now problematic. Consequently the Match Committee has recommended, and the Committee has agreed, that we switch to the widely used and well supported program, Compscore 2. Early this year we sent members a copy of the club’s Strategic Plan. In it we listed near and long term priorities. Now that we have more www.geelong.bridge clarity regarding the cost of the car park, consistent with the strategic plan, we are considering proceeding with a number of projects. Continued next page P a g e 2 Continued from previous page Replacement of carpets. Lead by Jennifer Blyton, the committee will consider quotes for the replacement of the well-worn clubroom carpet, with either carpet, carpet squares or wooden flooring. External painting of club rooms. Some repairs will first need to take place. Quotes are being sought for painting the club rooms. Landscaping. On completion of the carpark there will no longer be parking on the grassed area on our eastern boundary. This area will be planted with trees, albeit small trees that will not damage the drive way. We will also consider improvements to general landscaping. We have two large water tanks which I understand have not been used for six or more years. Consequently we will consider connecting these tanks to water the gardens at the front of the club rooms, and also, reconnecting them to flush toilets. Currently GBC spends around $270 pa on water attributable to toilet flushing. Garden water without tanks would cost up to a further $200 pa. Best Wishes Alan Blackburn President Grand National Open Teams (GNOT) The Grand National Open Teams (GNOT) competition is one of the ABF’s broad-based events with sixty teams selected from clubs/regions nationwide to play-off in the National Final. Two teams from Western Victoria Region are selected for the GNOT. BARWON team is selected from ten teams - six from Geelong Bridge Club (GBC), three from Ocean Grove and one from Torquay; the teams will play in the final to be held at the GBC on 26 September 2021. Three teams each from the Open Teams and Helen Drinnan competitions make up the six GBC teams. The WESTERN VICTORIA team is selected after a pairs’ event in Ballarat. The event is limited to players with less than 500 masterpoints every alternate year. Since the 2020 event was cancelled, entry in 2021 is restricted to players with less than 500 masterpoints. GBC members, with less than 500 masterpoints, should contact Ballarat Bridge Club to enter in the event scheduled on 11 July 2021. This year the GNOT final will be held in Brisbane and not the Gold Coast (as in previous years).

P a g e 4 CAR PARK UPDATE No date has been decided for the commencement of construction, nevertheless progress is being made in preparation for a start. • We have advised the selected contractors of their selection. • Following a Council of Greater Geelong (CoGG) request, we have written to CoGG advising suitable dates for the official launch of the project, suggesting a Thursday at 1200 pm. We have provided the Mayor with a suggested program, and details about the project. • We have made contact with the project officer with CoGG with whom we will liaise. We have provided her with the information required to populate the contract documents that GBC and CoGG will sign. CoGG has advised that their solicitors are updating the pro forma contract forms that Grant recipients need to sign. Documents cannot be signed until this is completed. CoGG has requested that we make further contact on 24 May. We are hopeful that contracts will be signed shortly after that. • We have requested confirmation and clarification re how CoGG will pay GST, and clarification on what process to follow if we seek to access Grant funds for contingency items. • GBC has to get the project approved by CoGG’s Planning Department. We have been assisted with this by an excellent Planning Consultant. CoGG has required GBC to reinstate kerbing where the informal crossover exists. A quote of $1600 exc GST has been provided from our contactor. This cost will be added to ‘contingencies’. • Advertise the project. A sign was placed in the front of our allotment and remained there for two weeks to 16 May. • The Maintenance Committee has recommended that trees on the west side of the existing car park be removed prior to construction, as their roots will likely affect the new car park. Quotes are being sought for this work. GBC will seek to have the cost included under ‘contingencies’.

Sometimes we find ourselves with an unbiddable hand because the opponents have rudely intruded in the auction. Consider Hand 1. Hand 1 When partner opened 1C, you intended bidding 1H, but your right hand S: 87 opponent bid 1S. Now what? There is no real problem here. You can bid H: KQ1065 2H since you have the required 5+ cards and the 11+ HCP. Thus you bid D: AK8 2H and the auction carries on normally after 1C-(1S)-2H. (Bids in brackets C: 765 are the opponents’ bids). Now consider Hand 2 after the same start of 1C-(1S)-. Hand 2 You cannot bid No Trump without a stopper, you cannot raise Clubs S: 876 because partner may only have three of them and, most importantly, you H: KQ105 cannot bid 2H because you don’t have five of them nor do you have 11+ D: KQ8 HCP. It is always a problem, mainly with a four card Heart suit, when the C: 765 opponents bid Spades. Is there an answer? A similar problem arises with Hand 3 after 1C-(1S)-. Hand 3 Now you have the necessary 5+ cards in Hearts to bid them, but you are S: 87 well short of the 11 HCP which you would be promising if you did so. H: KQ10652 Again there is no obvious answer. You would like to bid 2H but without D: K8 promising 11+ HCP. You don’t want to pass in case the hand is passed C: 765 out. Is there an answer? Surprisingly, there are three answers to these problems. The first basic answer is the Negative Double (NEGX) which says three things: • I have the unbid major (usually Hearts) • I have 8-11 HCP but occasionally I will be stronger. But don’t worry about that, I will tell you later • You are not allowed to pass this double out. Why is it 8-11 and not 5-11? The answer is simple. If it goes 1C-(1S)--P-(P), partner will always find a bid with 18+ HCP and often with 16-17. If we have game values, 25 HCP and partner is borderline for a bid 16-17, we need to help him. That is why 8 is the minimum.

  • CONTEXT in BIDDING by Maritha Pottenger
    CONTEXT IN BIDDING by Maritha Pottenger Bridge auctions depend a lot upon the context. The same bid can mean several different things, depending on who makes it, when it is bid, and what has been bid before it. A common example is the 2NT bid. If your partner opens a major; RHO passes and you bid 2NT, that is usually Jacoby 2NT—showing a forcing major raise with 4 trumps, no singletons, no voids, and an opening hand (or better). Jacoby 2NT and Splinters are reciprocal bids, so using Jacoby 2NT denies having a hand that could splinter, i.e., you do not have a singleton or a void. If your partner opens a minor, RHO passes, and you bid 2NT, most people play that as Limit 2NT (11-12 HCP), but some people play it 13-15 HCP. (Discuss with your partner!) Clearly this bid also denies having a 4- card major. If you have a 4-card major, bidding that suit should be your first response to partner’s minor because a 4-4 fit usually plays a trick better than notrump. If your partner opens a suit and RHO doubles, 2NT by you is usually Jordan 2NT. It promises a limit raise (or better) in your partner’s suit. (Some people play Jordan 2NT only over major openings.) Since you can use Jordan 2NT to show the Limit Raise (or better), a jump raise becomes weak. A redouble implies no fit (and desire to possibly double the opponents). Over opponent’s take-out double, a new suit is forcing at the one level, but not at the two level.

  • Practical Slam Bidding Ebook
    Practical Slam Bidding ebook RON KLINGER MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR BIG HANDS INTRODUCTION Slam bidding brings an excitement all of its own. The pulse quickens, adrenalin is pumping, it’s all systems go. The culmination can be euphoria when you are successful, misery when the slam fails. The aim of this book is to increase your euphoria-to-misery ratio. Of all the skills in bridge, experts perform worst in the slam area. You do not need to go far to find the reason: Lack of experience. Slams occur on about 10% of all deals. Compare that with 50% for partscores and 40% for games. No wonder players are less familiar with the big hands. Half of the slam hands will be yours, half will go to your opponents. You can thus expect a slam your way about 5% of the time. That is roughly one deal per session. If you play twice a week, you can hope for about a hundred slams a year. Practise on the 120 deals in this book and study them, and you will have the equivalent of an extra year’s training under your belt. Your euphoria ratio is then bound to rise. How to use this ebook This is not so much an ebook for reading pleasure as a workbook. It is ideal for partnership practice but you can also use it on your own. For each set of hands, the dealer is given, followed by the vulnerability. You and partner are the East and West. If the dealer is North, East comes next; if the dealer is South, West is next.

  • Lesson 2 – 2 Over 1 for Beginners Bergen Raises and Jacoby 2NT
    Lesson 2 – 2 Over 1 for Beginners Bergen Raises and Jacoby 2NT Requirements: These are the requirements to use Bergen raises or Jacoby 2NT by Responder: 1. Opener must be in 1 st or 2 nd seat. (Explained, this means: The dealer is considered to be in 1 st seat. The next player to bid is in 2 nd seat. If two or more players pass before the first player bids, then Bergen raises and Jacoby 2NT do not apply.) 2. There cannot be an opening or intervening bid by opponent. Remember: Seat 3 or Seat 4 could be a weak opening or have other considerations, so these 2/1 bids do not apply when your partner opens in 3rd or 4 th seat. An overcall by your partner over a bid by opponent could be weak also. So to use these bids, the opening bid must have been made by your partner in 1st or 2 nd seat – no exceptions to that! And the opening bid must be a major suit. If Opener bid a minor or 1NT, these bids do not apply. When do you use Bergen Raises or Jacoby 2NT? You must have 4-card support for your Partner’s major opening bid. All of these bids are alertable by the Opener. As soon as the Responder bids any of them, the Opener must announce “Alert” and/or show the Alert card from the bidding box. What is the reason for that? The reason for the “Alert” is to show that these responses are all conventions and have different meanings from what would normally be expected.

  • Bergen Raises and Jacoby 2NT Bergen Raises: Immediate Response of 3♣ Or 3♦ by Responder
    Lesson 2 – “2/1” for Beginners Topic: Bergen Raises and Jacoby 2NT Bergen Raises: Immediate response of 3♣ or 3♦ by Responder. Jacoby 2NT: Immediate response of 2NT by Responder. Why are these bids used? They are used by Responder to show 4+-card support for Opener’s major suit. Having at least 9 trump gives your hand extra strength. You can often make Game or a slam with fewer points than usual. Requirements for Bergen Raises or Jacoby 2NT by Responder: 1. Opener must be in 1st or 2nd seat* and have opened 1♥ or 1♠. 2. Responder must have 4-card support (or better) for Opener’s major suit. 3. Responder must have at least 8 points. 4. There cannot be an opening bid or intervening bid by opponent (except a “double”). *Seat position was explained in Lesson 1, but here is a re-cap: The dealer is considered to be in 1st seat. The next player sits in the 2nd seat. Opener must be in one of these seats for Bergen Raises or Jacoby 2NT to apply. Another way to think of it is: If you passed and your partner opens, these conventions do not apply. Important to Note: Immediately after the Responder bids using a Bergen Raise or Jacoby 2NT, the Opener must alert it before the next player bids. The way to do that is to say “Alert,” tap the Alert card on the table, then put the Alert card back in the bidding box. The reason for the “Alert” is to show your opponents that these responses are special conventions and have different meanings from what would normally be expected.

  • Supporting Partner's Major Suit Opening
    Supporting partner’s major suit opening General Approach It should be a cause for joy when partner opens one of a major and you have support for the suit. Generally it is right to show this support immediately: the primary case where you may show your own suit first is when you have a game-forcing hand with only 3-card support. Direct major suit raises An immediate raise to game is pre-emptive and not a strong bid. It normally shows 5-card support and little else. Occasionally, at favourable vulnerability, it may be made with 4-card support and a weak distributional hand (you would not do it with a balanced, weak hand). A jump raise, 1M-(Pass)-3M, shows 4-card support and 7-9 points. It is not a strong raise and often described as a mixed raise. You should look at the vulnerability when making this bid: ​ ​ a bland seven points made of queens and jacks may make a single raise when vulnerable. A single raise, 1M-(Pass)-2M, shows 3-card support and 7-9 points. There is flexibility based on vulnerability: it may be a bad 10 points when non-vulnerable; it may be 4-card support if the hand is very balanced. With weaker hands and support, you can try the tactical trick of responding one no trump. The one no trump is alertable, since it is wide range but non-forcing, and if asked you should say, “wide range, 5-12 points, may be a very weak raise”. 2NT response to one major The 2NT response to 1M is not ‘Jacoby 2NT’.

Points refer to a total value of a hand, including shape. HCP refers only to a hand’s high-card points. A natural suited bid shows 4+ cards in its suit. A natural notrump bid shows a desire to play in notrump. A non-natural bid is called an artificial bid. A convention is a commonly used artificial bid that has been given a name. Conventions are not part of Standard American, but many are commonly or nearly-universally played. A forcing bid demands a bid from partner if the next opponent passes. A forcing bid is also known as one- round-forcing. A signoff is a bid that strongly requests a pass or correction to another suit shown by the player signing off. Partner normally may not make a bid in any suit not shown by the signing-off player. A signoff usually occurs when the captain of the auction places the final contract. An invitational bid communicates that the partnership should bid a game unless partner has very minimal strength for previous actions. A game-forcing bid means that the partnership cannot play any contract below 3NT.

    Adventures in Bridge Leaders in Bridge Entertainment and Education www.advinbridge.com This Week in Bridge (266) Dealing with Interference Over a Conventional 2NT Response ©AiB Robert S. Todd Level: 3 [email protected] General Usually when the opponents interfere in our auction, we give up most of the conventional bids we were planning to use and adopt a different approach, more geared towards competitive bidding. But when partner has used a conventional 2NT bid, they often have expressed a fit for our suit and and are looking for some specific information about our hand to allow them to make a good decision about what to bid next. In these situations we should strive to communciate this same information to partner, even when the opponents have interfered in our auction. Here we look at how we adjust our agreements when the opponents interfere after we have made a conventional 2NT bid. Dealing with Interference After Partner Bids Jacoby 2NT If we open 1-Major and partner bids Jacoby 2NT, showing 4+card support and game-forcing values, then they are asking us to further describe our hand – show shortness and/or values. If our RHO interferes in our auction after partner bids Jacoby 2NT, then we want to have good agreements about how the meanings of our bids change. Let’s look at some examples so we can understand these agreements. Example 1 1♠ P 2NT* X __? In this auction we genearlly ignore the opponent’s double and bid as we would with no interference. • Pass “nothing to say”, interested in letting partner decide what to do.
