davlyn Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Good evening, Where might I read about the topic of competitive bidding that addresses the issue of how the Opener and his/her Partner deal with their responses to Overcalls and bidding by the Advancer?Many thanks,davlyn7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Suggestion not relating to Competitive Bidding: Please don't make the titles of your posts all capital letters. As a side note, beginning your posts with a dracula voice isn't a good idea either B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb79 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Good evening, Where might I read about the topic of competitive bidding that addresses the issue of how the Opener and his/her Partner deal with their responses to Overcalls and bidding by the Advancer?Many thanks,davlyn7 For starters, I suggest the articles in the "competitive auctions" section at http://www.bridgeclasses.com/notes/.

inquiry Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Another good source, but not all are standard, is Robson and Segal's book, which you can get for free from Daniel Neill's webpage. Look for it on the following webpage. http://www.geocities.com/daniel_neill_2000/sys/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickRW Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 "25 Ways to Compete in the Bidding" from Barbara Seagram and Marc Smith was one of the better books I found recently. Like others, I am not sure I agree with it all - but that isn't the point - it is a decent read anyway. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
