Bridge Lessons on Terms, Conventions




  Value Bid  A bid that might not make but it is certainly the right bid to make considering the situation at hand.
 
  Escape Mechanism  Leaving yourself an "out" in case you get doubled. You bid 5C, the opponents Double so you Retreat to NoTrump.
 
  Pattern Bid  Making several bids so that partner will eventually be able to tell your exact shape. You could show them exactly 4-4-4-1 shape, or 5-5 shape or even 6-4 shape.
 
  Passing The Buck  Not committing to game but instead making a bid that's almost there and then leaving it up to partner.
