  • 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.

  • Bridge Glossary
    Bridge Glossary Above the line In rubber bridge points recorded above a horizontal line on the score-pad. These are extra points, beyond those for tricks bid and made, awarded for holding honour cards in trumps, bonuses for scoring game or slam, for winning a rubber, for overtricks on the declaring side and for under-tricks on the defending side, and for fulfilling doubled or redoubled contracts. ACOL/Acol A bidding system commonly played in the UK. Active An approach to defending a hand that emphasizes quickly setting up winners and taking tricks. See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit. Advance sacrifice A sacrifice bid made before the opponents have had an opportunity to determine their optimum contract. For example: 1♦ - 1♠ - Dbl - 5♠. 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. Any method of alerting may be authorised including saying "Alert", displaying an Alert card from a bidding box or 'knocking' on the table. Announcement An explanatory statement made by the partner of the player who has just made a bid that is based on a partnership understanding. The purpose of an announcement is similar to that of an Alert.

  • Bridgehands Emag Newsletter Notrump Double-Talk February 2006
    BridgeHands eMag Newsletter Notrump Double-talk February 2006 Dear Michael, When opponents begin and end the auction in Notrump and partner doubles, what are your partnership agreements? Do you lead a long or short major, certain minor, shortest suit, Spade, or something else? Does it matter if opponents made suit bids en-route to their game or higher contract? Read on – we’ll take a look at agreements and a few situations where the top-dogs have shown their mortality like the rest of us. On the topic of lead directing doubles, what better time could we find to review agreements when Right Hand Opponent cuebids our suit? Be careful before smartly placing your double card on the table. Turning to the Laws, the ACBL has recently clarified its position when declarer begins to play a card from hand (L45C2). If you are a tourney player, check out this article. Just for fun - the “knee jerk” Amnesia Double is one convention you do not want in your bidding arsenal! Also, “Holy Smoke, Batman – are we playing with a Pinochle deck?” Note: Viewing the hands below requires your EMAIL reader to use "fixed fonts" (not proportional). If you have problems reading this document, please view our online web-based copy or Adobe Acrobat PDF file suitable for printing at the BridgeHands website Partner doubles opponents Notrump game - now what? Three Notrump Doubled and your lead partner! Gulp, we all recall “war stories” where our opening lead is akin to Luke Skywaker firing the proton torpedo at the Death Star’s reactor shaft.

  • Debbie Rosenberg Revised January 2015
    Debbie Rosenberg Revised January 2015 Lead Directing Doubles The recommendations in this lesson are considered part of “STANDARD BRIDGE.” PART I: DOUBLES OF ARTIFICIAL BIDS In general, a double of an artificial bid asks partner to lead that suit. The more artificial bids your opponents use, the more frequently opportunities to help partner with the lead will arise. BE ALERT so you don’t miss these chances. Some common examples are: A) 1NT P 2. (Stayman) X (asks for a club lead) B) 2NT P 3 (Jacoby transfer) X (asks for a diamond lead) C) 1 P 3 P 4NT P 5 (Two Aces) X (asks for a heart lead) The definition of the above doubles is unambiguous. Lead Directing Doubles in these situations are part of standard bridge, not a special partnership agreement). What kind of suit quality do you need to make a lead-directing double? Quick answer – “It depends.” There are no precise requirements for suit quality. Whether or not to make a lead directing double is often a judgment call, on which experts may disagree. Since you are virtually insisting that partner lead the suit you double, you need to be fairly certain that this is the best lead for the defense. The desirable length and strength in the suit doubled may depend on what final contract you expect the opponents to reach. If 3NT is still in the picture for them, as it would be in (A) and (B) above, I recommend you have at least a good five-card suit for the lead-directing double.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
