Limit Raises Bidding Limit raises are used for partnerships to find a good trump fit. In the past, a jump raise of partner's suit such as: North South 1S 3S meant that South had 13+ points and 4 card trump support for partner. It was a game forcing bid. The modern system of limit bids however has changed this bid. Now a jump raise is called a limit raise or limit bid. It tells partner you have 10-12 points and at least 3 card trump support for them. It is a more exact system of bidding that gives the opening bidder a better idea of just what you have so they can decide what to do next: settle for game, investigate slam, bid slam. The meaning of some other bids now change as well. Try a set of our Limit Bids Flashcards.
