kgr Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 playing and learning new system with my partner- Any web sites with partnership bidding excercises?- Is it possible to let bots bid a specific system (eg multi 3♦) to learn the defence against it?- Is it possbile to use Full Disclosure alone (simply to test my own knowledge of the system on my own).

kgr Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 www.larryco.com Useful that it also contains opps bidding. Thanks!Finished this one with my partner via e-mail. Interesting hands & easy to bid them via email because E and W are in different pdf files (easy to mail one of them to partner).It is an entertaining and interesting 10 minutes away from other things some times per day. I can really advice this to partnerships who want to improve their bidding.....Any other sites with bidding deals?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Was gonna recommend the becker archives, but it looks like those are the deals on larry cohens site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Get biddingquest. It works on the same principle. Your pd also downloads it and you can bid together selected deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effervesce Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 There's a good set of hands at http://www.imp-bridge.nl/bidcontest/index.htm where you can compare your bidding to greats like bocchi-duboin, and other famous pairs in an IMP bidding contest. Most of them will have a separate webpage for west and east hands, though unfortunately some don't. The hands focus on difficult-to-bid type hands found in bidding contests.

the hog Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Why not use a hand generator. Then you can put in constraints and practise those aspects of bidding that you would like - eg 1M openings, 1C openings etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hand generator risks to generate lots of hand where the bidding is straightforward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hand generator risks to generate lots of hand where the bidding is straightforward. The number of hands where the bidding is straightforward is quite low. What I do is generate the hands and my partner and I separately write down how we think the bidding should go. Then we compare. This is much faster than bidding the hands together so you can get through a lot more hands and mostly in your own time so when you get together you only discuss the ones where you disagree.

gnasher Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 What I do is generate the hands and my partner and I separately write down how we think the bidding should go. Then we compare. I do that too, and I think it's very effective. We each put our auctions into a spreadsheet which highlights the differences. The only downside is the feeling of horror when you first see how many sequences are highlighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it not have the disadvantage that you see both hand and tend to bid to the correct contract iso to the contract you would reach seeing only one hand?

Who would you be trying to fool? ..not trying to fool, but being influenced. Why are not 4 hands shown when people ask on the forum what we would bid? Because seeing all hands would give different bids then seeing only one hand..My opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
