TWiB Lesson #454 (1 of 9)
Partnership Bidding Workbook work begins — Here we look at auctions were we open NT and try to make sure we have good agreements with partner!
Partnership Bidding: Our NT Auctions
Partnership Bidding: Our Minor Suit Auctions
TWiB Lesson #455 (2 of 9)
When we open the bidding with 1-minor there are a lot of possible auctions for us to remember and consider with partner. Here we look at some auctions (more in the Partnership Bidding Workbook) to make sure we have some agreements.
Partnership Bidding: Our Major Suit Auctions
TWiB Lesson #456 (3 of 9)
When partner opens the bidding with 1-Major this helps us find our Major suit fit. But it can get complicated quickly. Here we look at some of these complex auctions and make sure that we have some agreements with partners to help us avoid a disastrous mixup.
Partnership Bidding: Our Preemptive Opening Auctions
TWiB Lesson #457 (4 of 9)
This week we look at Partnership agreements when our side starts the auction with a preempt. These are common and difficult auctions and ones we need to work together with partner to make sure we get right.
Partnership Bidding: Our Strong Opening Auctions
TWiB Lesson #458 (5 of 9)
When we have extremely strong hands we open the bidding 2C. This can lead to some confusing auctions, especially when the opponents try to get in the way. Here we look at some of these auctions and how we can make sure to have good agreements with partner.
Partnership Bidding: Their NT Opening Auctions
TWiB Lesson #459 (6 of 9)
When the opponent's open the bidding with NT then they will often buy the contract. We may compete in the bidding to try to win the contract, but we are more likely to be trying to get in the way of the opponents or help partner get off to a good opening lead.
Partnership Bidding: Their Minor Opening Auctions
TWiB Lesson #460 (7 of 9)
When the opponents open the bidding with 1-minor we often want to compete in the bidding. But we need to make sure and have good agreements with our partners about each of these auctions — especially when we are inexperienced with some of their agreements.
Partnership Bidding: Their Major Opening Auctions
TWiB Lesson #461 (8 of 9)
When the opponents open the bidding with 1-Major then we need to compete in the bidding and do so quickly and accurately. In order to do this week need good agreements with partner, especially about the meaning of cuebidding the opponent's suit.
Partnership Bidding: Their Preemptive Opening Auctions
TWiB Lesson #462 (9 of 9)
When they preempt the bidding we need to get into the auctions and try to describe our hand before the auction gets too high. Having good agreements with your partner helps give us better ways to get into the bidding!
