Bridge Bidding & Playing Guide

What is it about?

The Bridge Bidding & Playing Guide (Bridge BPG) has two components: the Bridge BPG Bidding Guide and the Bridge BPG Playing Guide. If you enter the 13 cards held in your hand (takes about 15 seconds), the Bridge BPG Bidding Guide can possibly help you by recommending a good opening bid. If you are responding in Third Seat and the opening bid was unopposed in Second Seat, the Bridge BPG Bidding Guide may be able to take the bidding further (using known conventions) perhaps even into Slam bidding. If you are in Second or Fourth Seat, the Bridge BPG Bidding Guide may be able to recommend a good Overcall or Takeout Double to oppose the opening bid. Please note that all bidding recommendations are based on Standard American 5-Card Major bidding conventions. The Bridge BPG Playing Guide can possibly help you, either as a Declarer or as a Defender, by demonstrating a number of important strategies and good examples forming a series of general case studies on card playing strategies. Please note that this version of the Bridge BPG Playing Guide does not provide guidance based on the actual cards held in your hand. That may come in a later version.
