On today's Polling You, after we have bid a small slam in Contract Bridge we take a look at finesses and playing for opponents suit distribution from a different perspective. Rather than simply look at a specific play, we introduce another possible wrinkle -- does a line of play matter depending on the number of tricks required? And while it is not really necessary to know the exact numeric percentage for a given play, over the long term it helps to know the best line of play. In fact, knowing the mathematical odds by number may impress your Duplicate Bridge friends -- or maybe not...
So whether you ruminate, cogitate, contemplate, deliberate, or simply pray for divine inspiration, we figure you have a good chance to deduce the best response. Look at it this way, with 5 choices you have the same odds of choosing the right card to lead after you've already played 8 cards! Nah, we're sure your odds are better here and especially at the table. Good luck and happy hunting.

These days, rubber bridge is out of fashion, since it relies to some extent on luck. But it's a great game, and is the antecedent of duplicate bridge that is played in bridge clubs worldwide. But it's only by understanding rubber bridge scoring that one can understand why bridge is scored the way it is. Take a walk down memory lane with me, as I go through how this great game is scored. (At the beginning, I wrongly said the white-board had a duplicate bridge score-pad written on it. That was wrong; the white-board shows a rubber bridge score pad layout.) See also my sequel video: "Contract Bridge Scoring Part 2 - Match Pointed Pairs".

As promised, we are beginning the new year with shorter, more frequent lessons for the social Contract Bridge and advanced Duplicate Bridge players. Premium and ULTRA members are welcome to enjoy both lesson segments.
In our advanced lesson, we delve into competitive bidding - contrasting freebids from balancing seat bids in the passout seat. We will explore when not to make a negative double, "The Law" of Total Tricks, misfits, using the Rule of 10 to consider penalizing mischievous opponents and other provocative topics.

Happy New Year, Bridge friends!
On today's poll, we have a multi-part question: one querying opener's rebid, the other asking our play strategy. Actually, that pretty much sums up Contract Bridge and Duplicate Bridge doesn't it? For sure, making accurate bids is necessary to make the contract. So our hand evaluation, or re-evaluation here is our first hurdle. After that, you can ponder a range of play options where suit promotion, finesses and ducking plays might enter the picture.
North deals and opens 1 Spade, while some advanced players would prefer beginning with 1 Notrump to show a reasonable 16 HCP hand. Sure enough, partner South bids 1 Notrump and North must make an uncomfortable rebid -- Pass or invite with 2 Notrump. Then there's a handful of decisions after the lead of the Heart 9. with some challenging declarer's and defender's play strategy. We discuss this and more in our Protected Content area -- please login and we will see you over on the other side.

Contract bridge, or simply bridge, is a trick-taking game using a standard deck of 52 playing cards. It is played by four players in two competing partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other around a table. Millions of people play bridge worldwide in clubs, tournaments, online and with friends at home, making it one of the world's most popular card games.
For purposes of scoring and reference, each player is identified by one of the points of the compass and thus North and South play against East and West. The game consists of several deals each progressing through four phases: dealing the cards, the auction (also referred to as bidding), playing the hand, and scoring the results. Dealing the cards and scoring the results are procedural activities while the auction and playing the hand are the two actively competitive phases of the game.

Major Suit Game Raises - Bidding, Social/Contract Bridge, BridgeHands Social Lesson 3Major Suit Game Raises - Bidding, Social/Contract Bridge, BridgeHands Social Lesson 3
http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=3368 Continuing our journey navigating major suit raises, opener again starts the auction bids 1 Heart or 1 Spade promising at least a 5 card suit. When responder has a good 12+ distribution points, the bidding typically continues with responder making a "temporizing" response of 2 Clubs or 2 Diamonds (perhaps responding with a Jacoby 2 Notrump conventional bid with 4+ trump and interest in slam, or immediately responding with a Blackwood 4 Notrump ace-asking call). On the other hand, when responder has a very weak hand with lucky 5+ in partner's major suit then responder should consider making an immediate response with 4 of opener's major suit - a preemptive bid. But that's just the start - tune in to our video for 43 minutes of enlightening and entertaining instruction at BridgeHands! In this lesson we will learn to differentiate useful short side suits to help partner develop extra tricks through ruffing, as opposed to honor heavy trump which can result in double counting. Additionally, we will illustrate the perils of crashing honors with partner, the importance of unblocking the "short side" to promote a long suit in the other hand, the joys of "tapping" declarer's trump suit as well as touch on how a squeeze play can generate extra tricks. Even if you understand the basics, be sure to check out our topics on how counting can influence which way to take a finesse, suit quality, losing trick count, cover cards and more. We hope you enjoy the show! BridgeHands -

BridgeHands Poll #23 6 Notrump Slam: Finesse, Know Your Odds (Contract Bridge Play)
http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=1201 On today's Polling You, after we have bid a small slam in Contract Bridge we take a look at finesses and playing for opponents suit distribution from a different perspective. Rather than simply look at a specific play, we introduce another possible wrinkle -- does a line of play matter depending on the number of tricks required? And while it is not really necessary to know the exact numeric percentage for a given play, over the long term it helps to know the best line of play. In fact, knowing the mathematical odds by number may impress your Duplicate Bridge friends -- or maybe not... So whether you ruminate, cogitate, contemplate, deliberate, or simply pray for divine inspiration, we figure you have a good chance to deduce the best ... -
Contract Bridge: Scoring Part 1 - Rubber Bridge
These days, rubber bridge is out of fashion, since it relies to some extent on luck. But it's a great game, and is the antecedent of duplicate bridge that is played in bridge clubs worldwide. But it's only by understanding rubber bridge scoring that one can understand why bridge is scored the way it is. Take a walk down memory lane with me, as I go through how this great game is scored. (At the beginning, I wrongly said the white-board had a duplicate bridge score-pad written on it. That was wrong; the white-board shows a rubber bridge score pad layout.) See also my sequel video: "Contract Bridge Scoring Part 2 - Match Pointed Pairs". -

BridgeHands Poll #22 Finesse, Promotion, Ducking / Holdback Play (Contract Bridge Play)
http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=1154 Happy New Year, Bridge friends! On today's poll, we have a multi-part question: one querying opener's rebid, the other asking our play strategy. Actually, that pretty much sums up Contract Bridge and Duplicate Bridge doesn't it? For sure, making accurate bids is necessary to make the contract. So our hand evaluation, or re-evaluation here is our first hurdle. After that, you can ponder a range of play options where suit promotion, finesses and ducking plays might enter the picture. North deals and opens 1 Spade, while some advanced players would prefer beginning with 1 Notrump to show a reasonable 16 HCP hand. Sure enough, partner South bids 1 Notrump and North must make an uncomfortable rebid -- Pass or invite with 2 Notrump.... -

Major Suit Game Raises - Bidding, Social/Contract Bridge, BridgeHands Social Lesson 3
http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=3368 Continuing our journey navigating major suit raises, opener again starts the auction bids 1 Heart or 1 Spade promising at least a 5 card suit. When responder has a good 12+ distribution points, the bidding typically continues with responder making a "temporizing" response of 2 Clubs or 2 Diamonds (perhaps responding with a Jacoby 2 Notrump conventional bid with 4+ trump and interest in slam, or immediately responding with a Blackwood 4 Notrump ace-asking call). On the other hand, when responder has a very weak hand with lucky 5+ in partner's major suit then responder should consider making an immediate response with 4 of opener's major suit - a preemptive bid. But that's just the start - tune in to our video for 43 minutes of enlightening a... -

Contract Bridge: Scoring Part 2 - Match Pointed Pairs
In this video, (which is the sequel to my other video "Contract BridgeScoring Part 1 - Rubber Bridge", I attempt to explain how match-pointed contract bridge is scored. (I should have mentioned that when playing duplicate bridge, the vulnerability is assigned for each board in advance. For for each set of 16 boards, north is the dealer 4 times, once at nil vulnerability, once with only north-south vulnerable, once with only east-west vulnerable, and once with both side vulnerable. The same for east as dealer, south as dealer and west as dealer. This ensures that each player has a chance to be in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seat at all combinations of vulnerability. After 16 boards, the pattern repeats for boards 17-20 and so on.) -
Contract Bridge: Transfer Responses To 1NT
How to handle different types of hands containing a long major after partner has opened a 15-17 HCP 1NT opening. The same ideas are still relevant when playing some other range 1NT opening, such as 12-14, but with responder having different HCP ranges applicable for game interest. -
Polling You 67, Contract and Duplicate Bridge Defense, Opening Lead Lesson at BridgeHands
http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=2551 In this BridgeHands Contract and Duplicate Bridge lesson, we focus on the opening lead when the opponents work their way into a 3 Notrump contract. As we've seen earlier in our Incredible Defender series when playing against Notrump contracts, sound opening leads include top of sequence leads, top of inner-sequence leads, fourth best leads, leading partner's bid suit, etc. We also learned the importance of being a good communicator with partner, providing card signals to share information about like-dislike suit continuation attitude, suit count and even suit preference signals -
BridgeHands Social Lesson 9 (Contract Bridge) - Responder With Long Minor Suit & No Fit
http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=3569 Here we go again with a long minor suit, but this time after partner opens in a major suit we as responder not only do not have a fit but on many hands we do not have 10 or more playing points (High Card Points plus effective distribution points for a promotable suit with useful honors). I'm sure some of our readers are tempted to "just do it" and make a 2 level call in their 5+ card minor suit despite not holding the required 10+ points. Yet that kind of anti-partnership trouble can get you in trouble with both your partner as well winding up bidding too high in an unattainable contract. And the alternative? Yeah, responding with a 1 Notrump bid despite having an unbalanced hand. True, with something like a 6-3-3-1 shape including a sin... -

Polling You #31: Negative Doubles in Contract Bridge, Part 1
http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=1528 Negative Doubles -- Part 1, The Basics in Contract Bridge When we first hear the term, Negative Doubles, we might mistakenly think, "Oh, that must be a variation of the Takeout Double." While it's true that both calls are not penalty oriented and request partner to continue the bidding, that's where the similarity ends. The point requirements are dramatically different, the shape requirements only have loose similarities and the meaning of the doubler's new suit rebid are completely different. Could that be why the Negative Double was originally known as an "out of this world bid" known as the Sputnik Double? No, not at all -- back in 1957 creators Alvin Roth and Tobias Stone simply liked the drama associating their new conventional call ... -

http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=3368
Continuing our journey navigating major suit raises, opener again starts the auction bids 1 Heart or 1 Spade promising at least a 5 card suit. When responder has a good 12+ distribution points, the bidding typically continues with responder making a "temporizing" response of 2 Clubs or 2 Diamonds (perhaps responding with a Jacoby 2 Notrump conventional bid with 4+ trump and interest in slam, or immediately responding with a Blackwood 4 Notrump ace-asking call). On the other hand, when responder has a very weak hand with lucky 5+ in partner's major suit then responder should consider making an immediate response with 4 of opener's major suit - a preemptive bid. But that's just the start - tune in to our video for 43 minutes of enlightening and entertaining instruction at BridgeHands!
In this lesson we will learn to differentiate useful short side suits to help partner develop extra tricks through ruffing, as opposed to honor heavy trump which can result in double counting. Additionally, we will illustrate the perils of crashing honors with partner, the importance of unblocking the "short side" to promote a long suit in the other hand, the joys of "tapping" declarer's trump suit as well as touch on how a squeeze play can generate extra tricks.
Even if you understand the basics, be sure to check out our topics on how counting can influence which way to take a finesse, suit quality, losing trick count, cover cards and more.
We hope you enjoy the show!

In this video, (which is the sequel to my other video "Contract BridgeScoring Part 1 - Rubber Bridge", I attempt to explain how match-pointed contract bridge is scored. (I should have mentioned that when playing duplicate bridge, the vulnerability is assigned for each board in advance. For for each set of 16 boards, north is the dealer 4 times, once at nil vulnerability, once with only north-south vulnerable, once with only east-west vulnerable, and once with both side vulnerable. The same for east as dealer, south as dealer and west as dealer. This ensures that each player has a chance to be in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seat at all combinations of vulnerability. After 16 boards, the pattern repeats for boards 17-20 and so on.)

In this BridgeHands Contract and Duplicate Bridge lesson, we focus on the opening lead when the opponents work their way into a 3 Notrump contract. As we've seen earlier in our Incredible Defender series when playing against Notrump contracts, sound opening leads include top of sequence leads, top of inner-sequence leads, fourth best leads, leading partner's bid suit, etc. We also learned the importance of being a good communicator with partner, providing card signals to share information about like-dislike suit continuation attitude, suit count and even suit preference signals

http://www.bridgehands.com/bridgeblog/?p=3569
Here we go again with a long minor suit, but this time after partner opens in a major suit we as responder not only do not have a fit but on many hands we do not have 10 or more playing points (High Card Points plus effective distribution points for a promotable suit with useful honors). I'm sure some of our readers are tempted to "just do it" and make a 2 level call in their 5+ card minor suit despite not holding the required 10+ points. Yet that kind of anti-partnership trouble can get you in trouble with both your partner as well winding up bidding too high in an unattainable contract.
And the alternative? Yeah, responding with a 1 Notrump bid despite having an unbalanced hand. True, with something like a 6-3-3-1 shape including a singleton in partner's major suit may present challenges. Yet with no better bid, sometimes we are forced to choose the "least evil" action and hope for the best.
In this lesson we will focus on declarer play, with special attention to promoting a suit with entries, Entries, and ENTRIES! And as always, we will entertain you with hand variations to underscore valuation with illustrative bidding examples with lots variations including animated card play and commentary. Of course here at BridgeHands, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and as always you'll see lots of action playing hands at the table!

Negative Doubles -- Part 1, The Basics in Contract Bridge
When we first hear the term, Negative Doubles, we might mistakenly think, "Oh, that must be a variation of the Takeout Double." While it's true that both calls are not penalty oriented and request partner to continue the bidding, that's where the similarity ends. The point requirements are dramatically different, the shape requirements only have loose similarities and the meaning of the doubler's new suit rebid are completely different. Could that be why the Negative Double was originally known as an "out of this world bid" known as the Sputnik Double? No, not at all -- back in 1957 creators Alvin Roth and Tobias Stone simply liked the drama associating their new conventional call with the shocking Russian satellite
Come by our Polling quiz and see if you can distinguish a Negative Double and a Penalty Double.
