It should only be used under partnership agreement, and it is alertable (when bid by an unpassed hand). The Dreaded Reverse Michael Sherman (Note: For ease of discussion, the opponents will be silent throughout.) With both sides vulnerable, partner opens 1 diamond, and you hold just enough to scrape up a 1 spade response: ♠ K953 ♥ 87 ♦ K85 ♣ 9842. Partner now rebids 2 hearts: 1D – 1S; 2H ——— **. What are your thoughts? We might wonder if partner could have a hand such as ♠ J6 ♥ AQ42 ♦ Q943 ♣ KJ3, having decided that showing the 4-card heart suit must be a priority. If so, any safe havens we might find on this hand lie back down the bidding ladder. From this point, getting out for minus 200 would be a bargain. The good news is that partner should not have this hand. (Alas, should not and does not are not always the same thing.) He should realize that bidding 2 hearts is taking the auction dangerously high with no knowledge of a fit, and he should choose the safer and more descriptive 1NT rebid. The key ingredient in recognizing this imminent danger is observing that responder would need to bid at the 3 level just to show a preference for opener’s first bid suit . This situation arises when opener's rebid is either a jump shift or a reverse . Briefly, a jump shift by opener (jumping into a new suit) shows an unbalanced hand with game-forcing values. Here our interest is recognizing bids that are (and are not) reverses on the auction 1X — (P) — 1Y — (P) ** and then discussing the recommended requirements for making such a bid. In reversing, opener's rebid will be: *A new suit (not a raise of responder's suit or a rebid of opener's first suit) *At the 2 level *Not a jump (a jump shift, mentioned above, involves slightly different guidelines) *Higher ranking than opener's first bid suit A brief quiz : Try to identify whether opener's rebid on each of the following auctions is a reverse. If opener's rebid is not a reverse, determine which of the above requirements is missing. 1) 1D - 1S; 2C 2) 1D - 1S; 2H 3) 1D - 1S; 2S 4) 1C - 1H; 1S 5) 1C - 1H; 2D 6) 1C - 1H; 2S The Dreaded Reverse ... continued Looking back at the auction at the beginning of the article, we note that opener's rebid is a reverse (quiz problem #2…#5 is the other reverse) and remind ourselves that this action left responder, holding minimum values and in an awkward position. To prevent a non-competitive auction from quickly escalating to an unplayable level (shooting oneself in the foot, so to speak), opener is expected to hold a strong hand (17+ HCP, or equivalent playing strength) in order to reverse. Opener should also have an unbalanced hand when reversing. Strong balanced hands with 18-19 HCP should rebid 2NT, except when holding 4-card support for responder's major. Other strong balanced hands should qualify for a notrump opening bid. There is one more standard requirement for opener's reverse, which is related to the fact that all 5-5 (and 6-6) hands should be opened with the higher ranking suit. Because opener should not be 5-5 (or 6-6) when reversing (the higher ranking suit has been bid second), it follows that opener's first bid suit must be longer than the second to reverse. It is worth noting that this also means that opener's first bid suit will always be at least 5 cards in length. Responder does not need to worry that opener might have a "short club" on the auction 1C - 1S; 2H . Because opener must have extra values to reverse and may have extra values beyond the minimum requirement, a reverse is forcing for one round . Responder must bid again, but the auction is not necessarily game forcing. Which of responder's rebids are forcing after the reverse and which are not is to some degree a matter of partnership agree- ment, and beyond the scope of this initial discussion. Feel free to contact the author ([email protected]) if you have questions related to this issue. To conclude, we will look at some examples of hands where the decision of whether (or not) to reverse is an issue for opener: ♠7 Open 1D. If partner responds 1S, this hand qualifies for a reverse into 2H . The 6-5 distri- ♥AQ982 bution and well placed honors more than satisfy the requirements for "equivalent playing ♦AK10853 strength.” Note that if opener bids hearts again on the next round to show a 5-card suit, ♣4 this would also reveal that opener has 6+ diamonds, even though the suit has only been bid once . 1D - 1S; 2H - 2NT; 3H - .... (Opener has 5+ hearts and 6+ diamonds.) ♠K3 This hand is not strong enough to reverse. Opening 1NT will avoid rebid problems. ♥AQ74 ♦K8652 ♣K9 ♠2 Open 1C. If partner responds 1S, reverse into 2H to describe this hand and force partner ♥AKJ4 to bid again. Because 2H is forcing, it is not necessary to consume valuable bidding room ♦A62 by jumping to 3H. ♣AKQ98 ♠8 Open 1C. f partner responds 1S, go back to the dealing machine and request a ♥KQ62 reshuffle. If no mercy is offered, opener still should not reverse. We might debate whether ♦KQ5 a rebid of 1NT or 2C is "better" in this situation (an issue left for the reader to resolve), but ♣K7643 treating this minimum opening like a strong hand could easily lead to trouble on this auc- tion and partnership mistrust in the future.

  • Acol Bidding Notes
    SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION The following notes are designed to help your understanding of the Acol system of bidding and should be used in conjunction with Crib Sheets 1 to 5 and the Glossary of Terms The crib sheets summarise the bidding in tabular form, whereas these notes provide a fuller explanation of the reasons for making particular bids and bidding strategy. These notes consist of a number of short chapters that have been structured in a logical order to build on the things learnt in the earlier chapters. However, each chapter can be viewed as a mini-lesson on a specific area which can be read in isolation rather than trying to absorb too much information in one go. It should be noted that there is not a single set of definitive Acol ‘rules’. The modern Acol bidding style has developed over the years and different bridge experts recommend slightly different variations based on their personal preferences and playing experience. These notes are based on the methods described in the book The Right Way to Play Bridge by Paul Mendelson, which is available at all good bookshops (and some rubbish ones as well). They feature a ‘Weak No Trump’ throughout and ‘Strong Two’ openings. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INDEX Section 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Bidding objectives & scoring Chapter 2 Evaluating the strength of your hand Chapter 3 Evaluating the shape of your hand .

  • Bridgehands Emag Newsletter Notrump Leads February 2006
    BridgeHands eMag Newsletter Notrump Leads February 2006 Dear Michael, For the last few months, we featured two of declarer’s favorite play strategies – the finesse and the promotion play. This month in our first of a two part article, we will explore considerations for the defender to make the best lead when opponents are playing a Notrump contract. There’s more to this game beyond leading your fourth-best card: find out why. With our focus on leads this month, let’s review the Laws when something goes awry on the opening lead. Everyone loves to open a hand for bidding. Last month we learned how the “Rule of 15” gives us another hand evaluation criterion when partner is a passed hand. Now let’s explore the “Rule of 20” - a third hand evaluation method, useful even when partner hasn’t bid. My, partner, you have great shape – referring to your hand distribution, of course! Some hands have cute colloquial names associated with them to describe the shape: Swan, Rattlesnake, Two/Three Suiter, Pancake, (Ugly) Duckling, Freak, and Stiff. Regardless of how you play the cards, use these clichés and you’ll sound like you really know your stuff after you have finished this month's newsletter. Note: Viewing the hands below requires your EMAIL reader to use "fixed fonts" (not proportional). If you have problems reading this document, please view our online web-based copy or Adobe Acrobat PDF file suitable for printing at the BridgeHands website Leads: Trading a promotion for a finesse Last month we investigated scenarios where declarer promoted long suits to establish extra tricks.

  • Leads and Signals
    Leads and Signals o All things being equal, we tend to be on defense about half the time; and leading about half of this time o Opening lead frequently sets up the pattern on defense o Cooperation between partners on defense is extremely important — Don’t try to set your opponents all by yourself; enlist your partner in the effort by signaling what you hold — Watch what partner plays and infer defensive approach he is suggesting and cooperate Leading o The key to selecting an opening lead is to listen to the auction and infer what that says about everyone’s hand — Has your partner bid --> Possible indication of suit to lead — Have the opponents bid easily and swiftly to game with no interference and you have near an opening hand --> your partner has nothing and the defense is “up to you” — Have the opponents struggled and found a secondary place to play -- > They may not have enough trump and a trump lead might be appropriate — Do you have “Connected Honors (I.e., an AK)” --> then you might want to lead the honor to see what dummy has and then make your “real” lead — Do you have a series (I.e., QJT9) -- If you can lead enough times, you can eventually drive out their honors Example hand Example hand - Solved Types of Leads o Aggressive/Active -- Use if opponents have side source of tricks o Tapping -- Use when you have length in trump suit; try to make opponents use their trump by ruffing your long suit o High roller leads -- Very aggressive and gambling leads; usually want to use only in team games where payoff for gamble is large; can

  • Squeeze Plays
    The Squeeze Play By James R. Klein **** The most fascinating of all advanced plays in bridge is undoubtedly the squeeze play. Since the origin of bridge, the ability to execute the squeeze play has been one of the many distinguishing marks of the expert player. What is more important is the expert's ability to recognize that a squeeze exists and therefore make all the necessary steps to prepare for it. Often during the course of play the beginner as well as the advanced player has executed a squeeze merely because it was automatic. The play of a long suit with defender holding all the essential cards will accomplish this. The purpose of the squeeze play is quite simple. It is to create an extra winner with a card lower than the defender holds by compelling the latter to discard it to protect a vital card in another suit. While the execution of the squeeze play at times may seem complex, the average player may learn a great deal by studying certain principles that are governed by it. 1. It is important to determine which of the defenders holds the vital cards. This may be accomplished in many ways; for example, by adverse bidding, by a revealing opening lead, by discards and signals but most often by the actual fall of the cards. This is particularly true when one of the defenders fails to follow suit on the first or second trick. 2. It is important after the opening lead is made to count the sure tricks before playing to the first trick.

    March 2018 ACBL Bridge Bulletin Notes Jeff Kroll Sam Khayatt Reisinger BAM Teams (p. 14 – 16) Page 15, column 1, fifth paragraph: When West doesn’t find the killing spade lead, 7C is made by setting up dummy’s diamonds. Declarer realized that both the CK and C7 are needed entries to the diamond suit. Don’t pull trump at tricks two and three. Pull them as you use the K and 7 as transportation to the diamonds. Page 15, column 2, sixth paragraph: the SQ is played by declarer to finesse against the SK. West chose to cover, the correct play. West is trying to set up his S9. When East plays the S7 then shows out, declarer unblocks the S8 to finesse against West’s S9. Gordon, page 32, topic 1: when you alert and are asked to explain, you must give an explanation of the alerted bid. If you end up declaring, you must give an explanation of any undisclosed agreement, and any misinformation given in the auction, before the opening lead. On defense, you must wait until after the deal to divulge any misinformation – you can’t clear it up for partner. The Bidding Box (p. 37 – 39) Problem 1 Both Easts appropriately pass after North opens 1S: East… Is not strong enough to double and bid, Cannot make a takeout double with only a doubleton heart double, and Cannot overcall that four- card diamond suit– especially at the two-level. East must pass and count on partner to keep the auction open in the balancing position.
