ONE OFF

When I take a 50-50 chance, I expect it to come off  8 times out of 10 (Hideous Hog)

Trial bids



       

Long suit trial bid asks for support in the suit bid. Exception is after 1 - 2. Here 2♠ is Short suit mode and 2NT asks for support in ♠.


In competition it is possible, that we can not ask in particular suit, so our bid asks for that suit ans suit(s) below. If there is no oom for a bid, then double is a general trial bid.

example: 1♠ - (pass) - 2♠ - (3) - dbl




Short suit mode trial bid is triggered by bidding 2♠ after 1 - 2 or 2NT after 1♠ - 2♠.

We ask RE in which suit he holds potential useless values if we hold a singleton or void in that suit. 

After 1 - 2 - 2♠,  2NT shows useless values in ♠.




Trump trial bid is shown with the sequence 1M-2M -3M. RE passes or bids 4M if she holds:

- 2TH in trump

- 1TH in trump and an Ace aside

- 1TH in trump and 4+ card trump support

- 2 Aces aside

- 1 ace aside and 4+ card trump support
