Can I practise Bidding with myself?

Hi,

 

I would like to ask, if there is possible to use partnership bidding practise room to practise bidding on my own?

Just like in teaching table, I can sit both of the seat at bidding room. Then I can test my system with myself, and I can practise bidding even my partner is not available.

 

Thanks for help

Long time since this question was raised and I guess the answer is no. But there is a fairly good way to practise a system and that is buy to a good Bridge program - I would suggest Jack which I think is the best around. You can do lots of clever stuff to specify the partnership points and arrange purely constructive bidding or allow opps to interfere. There are lots of systems available (only glaring omission is Precision but that may come) and enough gadgets to satisfy even the most devoted gadget freak B)

On bbo you are restricted to teaching tables.

 

If you want to use the PB tables you need a second id. email uday@ if you are serious. Make a second username soldatoj2 and i will set you up to be able to login twice from the same pc

There are dealer programs that allow you to do that.

Basically you deal random hands with specific constraints in terms of hcp, shape, etc etc, and then you bid both hands (or all 4 hands).

 

There are commercial programs that can do that, which embody lots of god features.

One of such programs is "Dealmaster", I think you can purchase it from Bridgebase.

 

But, there are also free programs that allow you to set most constraints.

These programs are free, but the interface and ease of use is more complicated.

One of such programs is "DEALER".

I am currently using GIB for this because I already own it. Of course, it doesn't represent real interference but I don't think there is a computer program out there that could handle my wacky system.

 

If just want something minimal to deal the cards and let you make your bids try EasyBridge. The downside in comparison to GIB is that its card play stinks so you can't just let it run to see if you've found a reasonable contract. The upside is that if EasyBridge can make it then I know I have a pretty good chance to make it with my declarer skills.
