I have been keeping a list of 'Dealer Source' criteria when using the BBO 'Bidding Table' to practise with my partner. Anyone unfamiliar with this facility should give it a try. Personally I think this must be one of the most powerful Bridge tools on the Internet.

 

Get BBO to deal hands for you that satisfy a particular criteria - shape and values, then another and another and bid them all until you're happy your system copes.

 

My 'Dealer Source code' could be improved on, I'm sure, but it works - see below.

 

If you find it useful, that's good. But the gratitude must go to BBO and the facilities provided - generously free and amazingly powerful.

 

 

 

BRIDGE BASE ONLINE – Hand Generating instructions

 

The following instructions detail how to get BBO to deal hands for you to practise with. You can use the ‘computer code’ like instructions to tell BBO what kinds of hands you want, but it isn’t very hard once you have tried it yourself. This document also contains many examples of such code so you can cut and paste it or adapt it for your own needs. The code examples aren’t perfect and I’ve been learning myself as I’ve been going along, but they are a start point.

 

I’ve given instructions on how to setup a bidding table which is a wonderfully powerful way for you and your partner to practise your system and to get BBO to deal hands for a particular area.

 

Using the following webpage and pasting the syntax into it will generate a number of deals that can be analysed.

 

http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/dealer/dealer.php

 

Alternatively with a BBO account, you can follow these instructions to setup a bidding table and get BBO to deal hands for you that fit a specific criteria.

 

Login to BBO

Click 'Start a table'

Click 'Start a Bidding table'

Under ‘Reserve Seats’ – if you have a partner who you want to practise with, enter their and your BBO account names into the North and South boxes. If you want to practise on your own, then leave them blank.

Click 'Start Table'.

On the table, click either the North or South seat to sit (unless you reserved a seat on the previous screen), then click on 'Robot' for the other seats - note if you want the E-W pair to pass don't bother clicking on 'Robot' for them just select it for your North or South partner if bidding on your own.

Click 'Deal Source' under the playing table window.

On the 'General' tab, uncheck the seats you don't want to open the bidding if required - e.g. if you want to practice 1NT openings set North or South as the only player to open the bidding

Click on the 'Advanced' tab

Click in the checkbox for the 'Use this input for the Dealer program'

Then cut and paste the relevant code from this document into the open space below or enter your own.

 

e.g. Use the following to force a 1NT opening for North and then some kind of minor suit holding for South. It is fairly self explanatory, but the keyword 'shape' means north can have any of the exact shapes listed with 'hcp' high card points in the range 15-17. And South's shape can be any of those listed where x can be any number and the order is SHDC.

 

(

shape(north, any 5332 + any 4432 + any 4333)&&

hcp(north)>=15&&hcp(north)<=17&&shape(south, 22xx +31xx + 13xx + xx5x + xxx5) &&hcp(south)>8

)

 

Click 'Close'

Click 'Redeal' on the table window to get a new deal satisfying the dealing criteria

Dealer Source criteria

----------------------

 

MINOR SUITS

 

 

To get an opening 1C bid (NB most of the hands will provide a 1NT 12-14 opening as it is far more common than the 18-19 hand).

To get BBO to deal specific cards and force an auction

 

predeal north SA83, HAT, DQJ9754, C74

predeal west SQT742, HKQJ6, DT, CQJ6

west1s = hcp(west)>10 && spades(west)>= 5

north3d = hcp(north)>6 && diamonds(north)>= 6

condition west1s && north3d

 

It would be nice if BBO forced West to open 1S and North overcall 3D, but the keywords do not refer to the bids, only to force the distributions set by the keyword criteria. In the above example therefore the west1s and north3d have no use since they have already been assigned their cards.

 

So, to get North to overcall 3D you have to sit in that seat and do it, then let the robots take the other polarities.

 

 

Other specific card holding conditions:-

 

aces(south) == 1 && kings(south) == 1 (also able to specify queens, jacks and tens)

clubs(south)==7 and hascard(south,AC) and hascard(south,KC) and hascard(south,QC)

 

 

You can get GIB to analyse a hand by using this as input to the Dealer Source:-

 

predeal north S63, HK52, DQJ7, CAK543

predeal south SA, HA874, DK53, CQT762

predeal east SJT9852, HJ63, DT2, CJ9

As well as emphasising the need to restrict the opening hand on the General tab to the hand that you are providing opening constraints, I would recommend the checkbox for 'Randomly rotate generated deals 180 degrees' - this is a really useful feature: after the hands are generated, they will be rotated so that both partners are able to practise holding the specified opening hand.

Yes - thanks for that, a powerful option when using the facility with a partner.

Is there a way to alternate the hands (rather than randomly rotating them) for the partners -- or maybe even every N hands?

Hi. Can someone help me by providing scripts for random Preempt and weak two hands for practicing? I see a couple that has specific for leaping Michael's, takeout, etc... But I'd like totally random if possible..

Thank you!! :D

 

Yes, but this probably too late by 3 years. If not, let me know and I can write you some code.
