What Crazy Bridge Bidding Systems Actually Work In Practice? Playing a system where you won't tell your opps what you are playing is HIGHLY unethical. Online or not, its simply not bridge. |

Bridge bidding - how do I decide whether or not to bid 1NT with weakness in a particular suit? This is a question that requires a great deal of discussion. All of bidding is the quest to decide where you should play a contract. Game? Slam? Part score? What level? What suit or notrumps? Large books are written. As such, it is impossible to answer this question as it has been asked, at least in a finite amount of time. Either be more specific, or close the question. What system are you using? Give more info. |

In bridge, is an “uppercut” a special case of a “forcing game?” I'd call an uppercut a trump promotion. |

Hesitating as bluff @Nick - No. You MAY act on a hesitation made by your opponent. If you do so and you are wrong, then it is your choice and your problem. You are NEVER allowed to hesitate to confuse an opponent, or to provide information to partner. |

In bridge,should a responder devalue her hand if short in opener's suit? @bwarner - actually, there will always be a heart loser unless you are lucky and a squeeze materializes (and you know how to play the squeeze.) If there is a spade loser, this slam will probably go down. |

Different kinds of “two direction” finesses in bridge? If you read my response, I explained how to ensure, with 100% probability, how to take 2 tricks with that suit. As stated, it applies IF you are MUST take two tricks, but are willing to have a lesser chance of three tricks. |
