Minor Suit Conventions

After minor suit openings, the partnership is striving to play in a major suit or notrump contract. Not only do majors and notrump score better, they require fewer tricks. Sometimes, however, you may have to settle in a minor suit contract. Get to the right contract with confidence! Take advantage of popular conventions such as New Minor Forcing, Inverted Minors, and Splinter Raises to explore Where and How High the partnership belongs.

Preemptive Bids and
the Subsequent Auction

Preemptive bids are very descriptive. They can come up in an opening bid, in a response to partner’s opening bid, or in competition. They can help your side bid constructively to your best contract and prevent the opponents from reaching their optimum spot. But there’s a delicate balance between aggressiveness and safety. Learn the basic rules for when preemptive bids apply, how high you should bid, and when to hold back.

Slam Bidding Conventions

The conventional wisdom is to bid slams with at least 33 combined high-card points. However, high-card strength doesn’t guarantee a slam will make. Learn the differences between slams in notrump and slams in a suit contract. Know when location of high cards is more valuable than strength of a hand. Be sure you’re using the right slam bidding convention at the right time to get the results you want!

Overcalls and Advances

The opponent on your right opens the bidding. You still have an opportunity to enter the auction – with an overcall. It’s a telling bid, suggesting the trump suit.
