  • Slam Bidding Lesson
    Slam Bidding and Modified Scroll Bids By Neil H. Timm In this Bridge Bit, I explore more fully Slam bidding techniques, some old and some perhaps new. To reach a small slam, the partnership should have roughly thirty-three Bergen points. In addition to a trump fit and count, slams require controls (aces, kings, voids, and singletons). The more controls between the partners, the easier the slam. To evaluate whether or not the partnership has the required controls, one uses cuebids with perhaps the 5NT trump ask bid (Grand Slam Force), and Blackwood Conventions. Blackwood Conventions reveal how many aces and kings, while cuebidding or control showing bids reveal where they reside. To make a slam, one usually requires first-round control in three suits and second round control in the fourth suit. It is possible to make a slam missing two aces, provided the missing ace is opposite a void, and the second missing ace is replaced by or is opposite a second-round control (a king or a singleton). When looking for a possible slam, one often asks the following questions. 1. What cards should my partner have to be able to make a slam? 2. How may I obtain the required information? 3. Are there any bidding techniques or conventions that I can use to obtain the required information? 4. If my partner does not have the required cards for a slam, can I stop short of slam, and if not is the risk of going down worth it? We shall review techniques to help the partnership find the required information for making a slam! However, with some hands one needs only to count points to reach a slam.

  • 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 . Section 2 Balanced Hands Chapter 21 1NT opening bid & No Trumps responses Chapter 22 1NT opening bid & suit responses Chapter 23 Opening bids with stronger balanced hands Chapter 24 Supporting responder’s major suit Chapter 25 2NT opening bid & responses Chapter 26 2 Clubs opening bid & responses Chapter 27 No Trumps responses after an opening suit bid Chapter 28 Summary of bidding with Balanced Hands .

  • Roman Keycard Blackwood (Part 1) by Fred Gitelman
    Roman Keycard Blackwood (Part 1) By Fred Gitelman The Blackwood convention was developed about 60 years ago by Easley Blackwood of Indianapolis, one of the great Bridge players and theorists of his time. The purpose of the Blackwood convention is to find out how many Aces and Kings your partner holds in order to make slam bidding more accurate. Here's how it works: In most auctions a bid of 4NT is the Blackwood convention and carries the message, “I am interested in slam, partner, how many Aces do you have?” The responses are: 5 Clubs = I have either zero Aces or all four Aces 5 Diamonds = I have one Ace 5 Hearts = I have two Aces 5 Spades = I have three Aces Subsequently the 4NT bidder can bid 5NT to give this message, “We have all four Aces between our two hands, partner. I think we might have a grand slam, however, so please tell me how many Kings you have!” The responses are similar: 6 Clubs = I have either zero Kings or all four Kings 6 Diamonds = I have one King 6 Hearts = I have two Kings 6 Spades = I have three Kings Over the years, Blackwood has gradually become accepted as part of “standard” bidding. Experts eventually developed ways for showing voids (which can be just as important as Aces) in response to Blackwood, and for responding to Blackwood when the opponents interfere over the 4NT inquiry. Several variations of Blackwood were also developed in which the responder was able to show the specific Aces that he held.

  • Slam Bidding Why Bid a Slam? Just Like There Is a Bonus for Being in the Game Level, There Is a Bonus for Being in the Slam Levels
    Slam Bidding Why bid a slam? Just like there is a bonus for being in the game level, there is a bonus for being in the slam levels. A small slam is a contract at the 6-level, Bidding and making a small slam is worth 500 bonus points when not vul and 750 bonus points when vul. A grand slam is a contract at the 7-level, Bidding and making a small slam is worth 1000 bonus points when not vul and 1500 bonus points when vul. Decision #1: Do you have enough overall strength? When considering a slam, you have to first decide if your two hands have the power to take 12 or 13 tricks once you get the lead. You can often add your points to the number partner has shown to determine your chances. For "normal", fairly balanced hands, use these guidelines: • To make a small slam (bid of 6) -- you need 33 pts. • To make a grand slam (bid of 7) -- you need 37 pts. You may make a slam with fewer points if your hands have other features to make up for what you lack in high-card strength. These include: • Extra trumps -- you need at least an 8-card fit to bid a suit slam, but stronger fits produce more tricks. You may score an extra trick for each trump you have over 8. • Long, strong side suits -- if you can set up and run a long side suit, the small cards can be as valuable as honors. • Short suits -- once you know you have a trump fit, add in your distribution points to determine your hand's full value.

Sufficient Strength. More reader stories Hide reader stories. Bidding and making a small slam 12 tricks or grand slam 13 tricks yields high bonuses ranging from to points. Bidding is done at the beginning of a round, and it consists of a number and a suit. The convention is rarely used today. You know that the opponents cannot cash 2 club tricks. So the logical approach to slam bidding is: - the partnership finds a fit or possibly no-trumps if there is no fit - one player realises that the total strength of the combined hands is in the slam region - check the necessary first round controls aces - check the necessary second round controls kings if interested in a grand slam. To bid in a controlled auction to a successful slam is one of the great pleasures of bridge. The card you choose will also help you to signal to your partner which card is your strongest suit, so choose wisely. Main article: Cue bid. Asking bids were devised by Alan Moorehead and developed by Ely Culbertson [1] and are an alternative to cuebids. Main article: Grand slam force. Once a trump suit has been agreed and the two hands are considered to be strong enough, partners bid the lowest available suit which they control; this process continues until one of the partners has sufficient information to make the contract decision.
