Bridge Terms |
  Retreat  Making a questionable bid knowing
that if you get doubled you have a retreat all planned out. An example is bidding a risky 3NT. If they double, you run to
your suit instead.
  |
  Full Deal  Looking at the whole hand like in
the newspaper rather than just a couple of the hands like when reading Bridge problems in a book or actually playing.
  |
  Pitching  Throwing away cards. Discarding
when a long suit is run.
  |
  Book Lead  The standard lead for a given
situation. If you looked it up, all the books would tell you the same thing.
