System

[WGF_Flame]

I'v recently run into some thoretical bidding articals, and i'v seen other ppl here trying to find the best system.

Usually ppl are trying to come up with system that will discribde the hands as good as possible and get them to the right contract, this is usually right (usually and not exactly, because giving more information then needed is giving extra to the opponents)

To do this the main idea is to find the less bidding space consuming, which givie u planty of time to picture your hand.

The problem with this approach is that it treats all the aution as one, meaning how much information did i manage to deliver in my bids, and not how much info did my single bid gave. doing this you ignore one importent thoretical fact, giving the info early is supirior to giving it late, if i give 40% info on my first bid and then another 30% on the second, but never give the full 100%, its usually better then a system that gives 20% each bid and get to the full 100%, the resson is that we dont know how many bids we will have, before the opponents will enter the bidding and eat our bidding space. in the real world, most bids our side doesnt bid alone, and when we do bid alone, we rate to get it right most of the time with most of the systems, so focus on the competetive aspect, meaning giving more info earlier.
