  • 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.

One important thing to keep in mind is that this is a competitive adventure.....as opposed to the social outing that you may be used to at your rubber bridge games. Now that is not to say that you can=t be sociable at the duplicate table. Of course you can.....and should.....just don=t carry it to extreme by talking during the auction or play.

  • Defense Against Transfer Bids 12-5
    12-5-1 DEFENSE AGAINST TRANSFER BIDS The following defenses against transfer bids will allow you to show any two-suited hand with one call. They apply not only against Jacoby and Texas transfers, but against any bid that shows another specific suit (e.g., opening 3Ì to show a preemptive bid in spades). One disadvantage of transfer bids is that they give an opponent two opportunities for action: immediate or delayed. This aid to defensive bidding accuracy should be utilized. When Your Side Has Been Silent When the transfer bid occurs before your side has bid or doubled (e.g., vs Jacoby or Texas response to a 1NT opening, or vs an opening preemptive transfer bid), use the following defense: -- A notrump bid asks for a preference between the lower two suits, excluding the one indicated by the transfer bid. -- A double of the transfer bid shows the higher two suits. -- A "cue bid" (in the suit indicated by the transfer bid) is top-and-bottom, asking for a preference between the top and bottom suits. For instance, after a 2Ë Jacoby response to a 1NT opening: South West North East 1NT Pass 2Ë 2NT - both minors Dbl - spades/diamonds 2Ì - spades/clubs 2Í/3Ê/3Ë - one-suited hand The double can be made with less strength than any of the other two-suited calls. One of the suits indicated by the double is the suit bid by the opponent, so partner can pass with an unsuitable hand. This sequence has an easy mnemonic: Dbl for Diamonds and the other major, Cue bid for Clubs and the other major.

  • Two Over One Game Force by Max Hardy I
    Two Over One Game Force By Max Hardy I. Opening Bids A. Opening Bids in Suits 1) One Level An opening bid in a suit at the one level shows approximately 12-20 HCP. In first or second seat, major suits are at least five cards. Minor suits show at least three cards, although in diamonds, four are expected. The only distribution that opens with a three card diamond holding is the pattern with four cards in both major suits and a doubleton club. Balanced hands with 4-3-3-3 distribution with only 12 HCP should not be opened unless there are three quick tricks. In third position, opening bids can be light - down to as little as 10 HCP. A good four card major suit is permitted, but four card major opening bids are never made with full opening hands. With four-four in the majors, open one heart if the hearts are of good quality. Otherwise open in a minor suit that has lead value. If you open light in a minor suit you must be prepared to pass any response, which means that you must have at least three cards in each major. If you cannot handle all auctions, do not open light in third seat. In fourth seat you may still open light if you use the "rule of fifteen." Add your HCP to the number of spades you hold. When the total of your HCP and spades is at least fifteen you may open with less than real opening bid values in fourth seat.
