North: 1H
South: 4C
North: 1H
South: 3S
The standard meaning for a double jump response in a new suit is a pre-empt. However, after partner has opened, it is not attractive to pre-empt to the four-level. You may miss the best spot of 3NT. In general, it is of limited use to pre-empt opposite an opening bid, since the opponents are unlikely to enter the bidding anyway. Instead of shutting them out, your pre-empt is robb ...

- Choosing Your Opening Lead
By: Ron Klinger | - It is usually best to avoid a suit bid by the opponents. A suit bid by partner is often the best choice.
In no-trumps, if partner has not shown a long suit, it is normal to lead your longest suit not bid by the opponents. If the suits are equally long, the suit that has more high cards is preferred.
In a trump contract, your long suit is not so attractive because declarer or dummy is likely to ruff after one, two or three rounds. Here a strong suit is usually better t ...

- Messing With Their Game Force
By: Ron Klinger | - Given the high card strength contained in these responses, you will rarely have enough to enter the bidding. Bidding a suit is natural and your playing strength should be within two tricks of your bid. You might enter the auction with a freak two-suiter, short in their suit, typically at least a 6-5 pattern. With such a hand, you could adopt the following approach, assuming the opening bid was 1H:
Double = 6 spades + 5-minor. Partner supports spades if possible. If not, partner may ...

- Getting In First: Pre-emptive Opening Bids
By: Ron Klinger | - Without interference, most pairs with a little experience can bid well enough to the best spot most of the time. Information is exchanged by the partnership's dialogue. For example, 1H : 2C ,2D : 2H , 4H can be translated into: 'I have hearts.' : 'What about clubs?', 'No, I have diamonds, too.':'Oh,I prefer your hearts.','All right, lets try 4D then.'
Imagine that before the above dialogue took place you had opened 3S.What happens to their dialogue? Opening bids of 3-in-a-suit or 4-in-a-su ...

- The Lighter Side Of Bridge With The Bridge Master
By: Ron Klinger | - The story goes that a card-sharp was considering whether to turn his talents to bridge. He asked how the game was played and the rules were explained to him.

- Bridge Master Tips : 5-card Major Stayman
By: Ron Klinger | - Why top players open 1NT even when holding a five-card major
Bidding styles change . . . invariably for the better, as players judge the outcome of the decisions they make. Chances are that when you were learning bridge, the dominant approach was to open 1NT only with a balanced hand, one with a hand pattern of 4-3-3-3 or 4-4-3-2, or 5-3-3-2 as long as the 5-card suit was a minor. With a 5-3-3-2 pattern, a 5-card major and the right strength for 1NT, opening the major was advocated because ...

- Bridge Game Tips : Stopper Asking And Stopper Showing
By: Ron Klinger | - When a minor suit has been agreed or partner has made a jump rebid in a minor, a new suit at the three-level does not necessarily show a suit, but is angling for 3NT. Some play stopper-showing, meaning that they have values in the new suit bid. Others play stopper-asking, meaning that the new suit bidder is asking for a stopper in that suit.
Examples:
Stopper-showing:
1H : 2C
3C : 3S = I have spades stopped; I need a diamond stopper for 3NT

- How To Play 5 Card Stud
By: Kenny Wilson | - For most of the people 5 card stud is a confusing game and they often mix it up with 7 card stud or Draw Poker. Though this game is considered as the originator of the new age poker games such as Omaha Poker and Texas Hold'Em, these days 5 card stud is hardly played in casinos and people take it more as a social game, so the rules vary according to the player's convenience.

- Crossfire X Vs Sli
By: fin2000 | - With the launch of the HD4800 series, AMD is again forcing its competitor, NVIDIA to go toe-to-toe on price, rather than performance.
