  • Advanced Tips
    ADVANCED TIPS In card play there is the rule "8 ever 9 never", whereby if you have only eight cards in suit and you are looking for the Queen it is best to finesse and if you have 9 then you play for drop. Larry Cohen has turned this rule on its head for COMPETITIVE BIDDING and the rule he has come up with is totally the opposite. 1 In competitive bidding 8 never 9 ever- when you and your partner are known to hold only an eight card trump fit don't compete to 3 level when the opponents are pushing you up But with a 9 card fit then take the push to the 3 level- further examples of this can be found in his Bols tip If declarer or dummy has bid two suits and you are strong in one of the suits then lead a trump. The reason 2 for this is that declarer could very easily try and ruff this suit out and by leading a trump you are removing two trumps. If you have made a limit bid, then be respectful and leave all decisions to partner - Don't bid again unless 3 forced or invited If you think you are in a good contract don't now be silly and go for an overtrick when making your contract is going to produce all the Match points. The corollary applies that if you think you are in lousy 4 contract, maybe 3NT and you think everybody else will be in 4S making an overtrick, Now you have to go for that overtrick in order to compete for some sort of reasonable score.

So, with nine trumps, never finesse. • At pairs, if the opening lead seems odd and has This is called playing for the drop. The contrary is donated a trick to you, you should finesse.

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. Alert A method of informing the opponents that partner's bid carries a meaning that they might not expect; alerts are regulated by sponsoring organizations such as EBU, and by individual clubs or organisers of events.

  • OPENING LEADS and SIGNALS Leading From
    OPENING LEADS AND SIGNALS Leading from a Sequence A sequence consists of two or more cards in consecutive order of rank e.g. K Q J or Q J 10 9. A holding such as K Q 10 or Q J 9 is called a broken sequence. Leading from the top of a sequence is usually the best opening lead that you can make, for two reasons 1. It is a safe lead i.e. it has a low risk of giving away a trick. 2. It gives partner accurate information about your holding. Lead the A from a A K (You need to have a partnership agreement about this) Lead the K from K Q J x or K Q 10 x Lead the Q from Q J 10 x or Q J 9 x Lead the J from J 10 9 x Lead the J from A J 10 9 x (the top of an interior sequence against no-trump) Do not lead the Q from Q J x x unless partner has bid the suit You don’t usually lead K from K Q x x but later in the play it may be desirable The Attitude Signal Sitting in third seat, you normally play a high card if you want the suit continued and a low card if you do not want the suit continued.
