A 4 player trick-taking card game where opposing partners try to either take the number of tricks they bid or prevent their opponents from doing so. When asking questions on bidding or play, please specify scoring system (Rubber, Matchpoints, IMPS, ec.), Dealer, vulnerability for both sides, full auction to the point of inquiry, and as complete a description of the visible hands as you can, including spot cards instead of x's.

Should N-S be in 3NT if not vulnerable?
There are lots of good comments in this article, but also I feel 'some inaccuracies.
First start with the punchline and get it out the way: the hand is very likely to going down, with opponents more t …

If you are opening "light" in third position, would it make a difference which is your stron...
I keep the system very simple:
1 Have a clear reason to open, and some suit quality to support it. (The closest approximation would be an Overcall - but made before opener has bid!)
2 Don’t open at th …

Is it legitimate/ethical to treat the same bid from different people in different ways?
On a practical note, When you adjust your bidding to compensate for your partner, you'll tend to encourage them to adopt an even more aggressive or conservative stance in their bidding over time, so i …

How much would you revalue your hand after finding a "double fit?"
The law of total tricks predicts an 'average' double-fit to add only 1/2 trick to either team's offensive potential, but both point-upgrades and downgrades are possible. The double-fit generally mean …

Was I wrong to open with a singleton lead in this situation?
There is an adage, that when you have long trumps you should lead your side's longest suit. The objective being, that you can force declarer to use up enough trumps ruffing your long suit and they wi …

Is it more important for a responder to bid their suit or raise partner under the following ...
The rule is ‘showing support for partner’s Major always takes priority over showing your own suit’ - However showing support doesn't necessarily mean bidding partners suit!! What isn’t explained well …

When are nine and ten hcp point hands worth opening at the "one" level?
You'd do well to embrace Pass as a functional and enhancing part of the bid-system, it's not just a 'last bid'.
Often overlooked, but Pass-and-Rebid is a valuable set bids for describing many hands to …

Should there be different standards for a strong two club bid depending on the expected rebid?
I think a simpler way to say this, could be:
Opener's job is to describe one of 4 shapes to partner, while Responder's job is to calculate how many tricks his hand adds to opener's and place the contr …

Should bidders take "controls"into account when trying to bid a no trump slam?
To answer this question from a different tack; The 1NT opening ought to be oriented towards finding games not slams, and there are far better tools to handle controls for a slam.
In No Trumps, obvious …

What are the "help suit" game try methods?
I think you’d just describe game tries broadly, as a shape-based invite.
As Alexander says ~6 losers, and with a shapely hand. ( With 17+ HCP you can make a strength-based invite in NT or 3 of your su …

Where would modern bridge players draw the line in the following paradigm?
I think you're asking for a single rule for a question which is multi-faceted (as illustrated by Mycroft's extensive answer).
After 'Open all 13 points hands', the choices get contextual below 13 poin …

Are Moyesian fits more playable at matchpoints than rubber or IMP, bridge?
An interesting question! However I think Moyesian is more the question of whether you want to play in NT or a suit, rather than a different strategy for rubber or duplicate.
When you can judge the rig …

Does it make better sense to open "light" in matchpoints than in rubber?
In the long term, down -1 saving 10 points 9 times out of 10 outweighs a -50 once in 10, and getting 60% 9 times and 0% once is good bridge, while 60% 8 times and 0% twice is bad bridge! …
