  • Lead-Directing Doubles © Aib Robert S
    Adventures in Bridge Leaders in Bridge Entertainment and Education www.advinbridge.com This Week in Bridge (140) Lead-Directing Doubles © AiB Robert S. Todd Level: 2 [email protected] General In bridge, doubles are a large subject and making a double can mean very different things based on the situation. Here, we will focus on doubles of artificial bids and discuss their general meaning and purpose – generally to be lead-directing. As part of this discussion we will also look at when making a double of an artificial bid is not lead-directing and what other uses we have for it. Defeat the Contract Remember, when making a lead-directing double, make sure that you can defeat the contract you are doubling. The lower the contract you double, the more defense you need to have to ensure beating the contact. This defense can be the form of a great holding in the suit you are doubling or it can be just a decent holding in the suit you are doubling with more high-card points in the outside suits. Example When you double 2♣ Stayman, you will usually have a decent 5-card ♣ suit and some outside values as well – you and partner will need to be able to take 6 tricks to beat 2.. If you only have a 4-card . suit for doubling Stayman, your suit should be very strong and you should have a significant amount of extra values outside the ♣ suit.

  • LESSON 3 Overcalls
    LESSON 3 Overcalls General Concepts General Introduction Group Activities Sample Deals 120 More Commonly Used Conventions in the 21st Century GENERAL CONCEPTS Overcalls This is the first of two lessons covering overcalls. The main focus is on natural overcalls and re- sponses, although the concept of two-suited overcalls is introduced at the end of the lesson and will be carried over into the next lesson. Bidding It is assumed that the students are familiar with the general concept of simple overcalls. The lesson looks at the modern trend toward a wide range of strength for a simple overcall with preemp- tive jump raises by the advancer — partner of the overcaller. The recommended ACBL style is that new-suit responses are not forcing. This results in extensive use of the cuebid by the advancer. The modern style of weak jump overcalls is also recommended. Here are the topics covered: Simple Overcalls in a Suit Since the other competitive action, the takeout double, shows an opening bid or better, many players tend to treat the overcall in a similar fashion. The overcall actually covers a much wider range and depends on factors such as suit quality, level and vulnerability. In addition, not every hand with 13 or more points is suitable for an overcall. Responding to an Overcall Most players are used to responding to an overcall in a fashion similar to responding to an opening bid. The “standard” approach recommended here is to use weak preemptive jump raises and to treat a new suit as non forcing. This requires that the cuebid be used both with a fit and with a hand strong enough to make a forcing bid in a new suit.

  • What Ever Happened to Penalty Doubles?
    Whatever Happened to Penalty Doubles? Are partners pulling your penalty doubles? I don’t know exactly why but the penalty double seems to have gone bye-bye and I want it reinstated. But before we can accomplish that we need to review some of the other uses of the word DOUBLE. Double is a very important call in bridge but it does has a variety of possible meanings depending upon its use. There are two basic kinds of doubles....(1) informative but generally for takeout and (2) penalty or business. Each informative (or takeout) double provides some specific information thus enabling the doubler to add something constructive to the auction. Informative doubles include, but are not limited to, normal takeout doubles, negative doubles, re- opening doubles, balancing doubles, responsive doubles, support doubles, and lead-directing doubles. When an informative double is made, the doubler’s partner is expected to bid but on rare occasions may pass hoping to convent the double into a sizeable penalty. A penalty double is just that......it expresses an opinion that the opponents have bid too much and that to penalize them is the way to get the best possible result on this hand. Sometimes this double will backfire but it is still an important and necessary part of the game of bridge. Without it, you couldn't keep optimistic and overbidding opponents from bidding too much on every hand. When partner makes a penalty double it’s usually best to pass. I think Edgar Kaplan said it best when he said something like: “We’d all be better off if we took out our partner’s takeout doubles and left in our partner’s penalty doubles.
