See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit.

Adverse When you are vulnerable and opponents non-vulnerable. Also called "unfavourable vulnerability vulnerability." Agreement An understanding between partners as to the meaning of a particular bid or defensive play.

  • Offense to Defense Ratio (ODR) by Neil H
    Evaluating Your Offense to Defense Ratio (ODR) By Neil H. Timm Duplicate Match-point Bridge is all about bidding in competition and how many tricks each side can take. However, you do not want to outbid the opponents if the penalty you earn is more than the value of the contract they would have earned. If you can make eight tricks in hearts and they can make eight tricks in spades, and they bid 2♠, then you should bid 3♥ if you know with some certainty that you can expect to go down by at most ONE trick since to score of -50 or -100 is better than the 110 that their 2♠ contract would produce, bid to the 3-level; since any positive difference (even 10 points) to the majority of the field is decisive in terms of match points. Even two tricks down for a score of -100 is fine if not vulnerable; but if vulnerable a score of -200 is clearly bad so you may not want to outbid them when vulnerable if you were to get doubled. The challenge is to accurately evaluate how many tricks you and the opponents can take. Remember that the aim of competitive bidding in regular match-point pairs is not to bid what you can make. Rather you are striving for the best possible score on the board, the par score, even if that means bidding to go down - provided it scores better than allowing the opponents to make their contract. Therein lies the rub since most of the methods used do evaluate the number of tricks do not guarantee success because “success” depends upon high-card strength, shape, the distribution of HCP values, and suit quality.
