Notrump Openings and ResponsesThe notrump opening bid paints the most specific picture of your distribution and strength, making the subsequent auction much easier. Responder gets a good idea of How High the partnership may belong and can find out Where the contract should be played. Make use of conventions such as Stayman, transfer bids, Gerber, and quantitative raises after a notrump opening to increase your partnership’s chances of getting to the best spot. |

Minor Suit ConventionsAfter 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. |

Slam Bidding ConventionsThe 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 AdvancesThe 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. The rules for an overcall are different than those for an opening bid. Find out the factors that influence the decision to overcall. After you overall, your partner can decide to advance the auction. Learn what these options are. Get your partnership into more competitive auctions now! |
