Forcing and Non-Forcing bids Pt.1

Filed under: Forcing/NonForcing Bids — Corey @ 2:53 pm

The basic building block of bidding is the concept of forcing bids and non-forcing bids. Every bid can be defined as either forcing or non-forcing, and every bid that a player chooses to make in an auction should be influenced by this concept.

All bids are either forcing on non-forcing. Partner must make a legal bid or is allowed to pass.  There is no in-between.

What about invitational bids?

Invitational bids can be passed and therefore are non-forcing.

  3. I am not sure yet!

    This is my first experience working with the blog. I have worked on some of the ideas that I want to express, but the mechanics of posting/subscribing, etc are very new to me.
