We have Supervised Play tonight, Wed evening, Nov 7, at the Columbia Bridge Club. The mini-lesson will be on
Preemptive Bids
. While most people consider weak-hand preemptive bids to be
destructive
bids that have the goal of interferring with the opponent's auctions, many experts consider the value in preemptive bids to be
constructive
for their own partnership. A partner making a preemptive opening or overcall bid sets their partner's expectations early in the auction about his/her suit length and over general strength, and that can be a very useful tool in avoiding fatal contracts, or when determining whether to sacrifice against opponent's contracts.
The following is a link to Preemptive Bids on the BridgeGuys site:
The mini-lesson starts at 6:00 p.m. Hope to see you all there!
