  • Acol Bidding Notes
    SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION The following notes are designed to help your understanding of the Acol system of bidding and should be used in conjunction with Crib Sheets 1 to 5 and the Glossary of Terms The crib sheets summarise the bidding in tabular form, whereas these notes provide a fuller explanation of the reasons for making particular bids and bidding strategy. These notes consist of a number of short chapters that have been structured in a logical order to build on the things learnt in the earlier chapters. However, each chapter can be viewed as a mini-lesson on a specific area which can be read in isolation rather than trying to absorb too much information in one go. It should be noted that there is not a single set of definitive Acol ‘rules’. The modern Acol bidding style has developed over the years and different bridge experts recommend slightly different variations based on their personal preferences and playing experience. These notes are based on the methods described in the book The Right Way to Play Bridge by Paul Mendelson, which is available at all good bookshops (and some rubbish ones as well). They feature a ‘Weak No Trump’ throughout and ‘Strong Two’ openings. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INDEX Section 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Bidding objectives & scoring Chapter 2 Evaluating the strength of your hand Chapter 3 Evaluating the shape of your hand .

  • The Foundation System
    The Foundation System Notrump Bidding Introduction This chapter treats hands in which Opener holds a balanced hand (4333, 4432, 5332 with a 5-card minor, perhaps occasionally 5422 or 6322 with a 6-card minor or 5332 with a weak 5-card major) of three different strength ranges: 15-17 HCP (1NT opening), 20-21 HCP (2NT opening), or 22+ HCP (2C opening followed by a 2NT rebid by Opener). Other strength ranges are treated in the chapter on Minor Suit Bidding: 12-14 HCP (1C or 1D followed by a 1NT rebid by Opener) and 18-19 HCP (1C or 1D followed by a 2NT rebid). A 5-card major is acceptable for the stronger openings (2NT and 2C then 2NT). These strength ranges are not absolute. A bad 15 HCP can always be downgraded to open 1C or 1D; a bad 18 HCP can be downgraded to open 1NT; and a bad 22 HCP can be opened 2NT. The Bridge World magazine maintains a system called Bridge World Standard which is based on the preferences of a panel of experts; their notrump ranges are expressed as a good 15 to a bad 18, and a good 20 to a bad 22. Further discussion of such adjustments will be deferred until the Bidding Practice quizzes in Part II. Responses to 1NT Note: Unless otherwise noted in the discussion, these same responses and rebids apply, but obviously one level higher, after a 2NT opening , and also after 2C/P/2any/P/2NT (so long as the 2any response is artificial and does not show any specific suit).

  • LESSON 9 the Stayman Convention
    LESSON 9 The Stayman Convention General Concepts General Introduction Group Activities Sample Deals 154 Bidding in the 21st Century GENERAL CONCEPTS The Bidding It is important to introduce students to the concept of a convention and its purpose, i.e., it helps us ask and answer bidding questions that normal bidding methods cannot answer. The Stayman conven- tion is one of the world’s most popular and respected conventions. Stayman is used after partner opens the bidding with 1NT. The Stayman bid of 2 is used by responder to ask if opener has opened 1NT with a four-card major suit. Opener’s rebids: 2 No four-card major 2 Shows a four-card heart suit. Opener also may have four spades 2 Shows a four-card spade suit. Opener denies four hearts Responder’s rebids: Responder is able to show both invitational and game-forcing hands after utilizing Stayman. Another reason to use Stayman is that it provides a method for responder to show an invitational hand with a five-card major. It should be explained that without Stayman responder really cannot show this type of hand. Basic information on how to use Stayman over an opponent’s interference is also included. The Play There are eight deals in this lesson. The teacher should decide how to use them — a long lesson or dividing it into two short lessons. The deals all focus on using Stayman. Most of the deals will go down if Stayman is not employed to find the right contract. You can have the students bid and play each deal twice — once without Stayman (playing in the wrong contract) and the second time with Stayman (playing in the correct contract).

  • Are Counted. the Presence of a 5-Card Suit Is Worth One Point, and the Presence of Tens Can Also Be Taken Into Account
    - 1 - INTERMEDIATE-2 BRIDGE LESSON 1 NO TRUMP BIDDING General Considerations: a. Strength - High cards points only (never distribution) are counted. The presence of a 5-card suit is worth one point, and the presence of tens can also be taken into account. The system is based upon 26 HCP's = Game, 34 HCP's = Small Slam, and 37 HCP's = Grand Slam. b. Distribution - Only balanced hands; i.e., no voids, no singletons, and not more than one doubleton, qualify. (Examples: 4-3-3-3, 4-4-3-2, 5-3-3-2) (1) The 5-card suit is rarely a Major suit. (2) Distributional exception: (5-4-2-2) Where the two doubletons are Major suits headed by an Ace or a King (Example: KX AX KJXX AQXXX). c. Location Of Strength - The concentration of honors, presence of any tenaces (AQ, KJ, etc.), or the holding of a worthless doubleton are rarely considered. OPENING NO TRUMP BIDS a. 0-12 HCP’s - Pass b. 13-14 HCP's - Bid one of a preferred Minor and rebid 1NT c. 15-17 HCP’s - Bid 1NT d. 18-20 HCP’s - Open one of a Minor and jump to 2NT with 18 or 19 HCP’s & 3NT with 20 HCP’s e. 21-22 HCP's - Open 2NT f. 23-24 HCP’s - Open “2C”(Strong, Artificial, and Forcing) and rebid 2NT q. 25-27 HCP's - Open "2C" (Strong, Artificial, and Forcing) and jump to 3NT h. Gambling "3NT" - Holding a 7-Card self-sufficient Minor suit (Example: AKQXXXX ) If partner has stoppers in both Majors and two (2) quick tricks or better, he/she passes.
