Winning at Bridge is
bidding
the hands (you and your partner’s) to their maximum potential. Under
bidders
do not come out ahead. Not every Slam or Game that is bid will be made.
If that were the case there would not be any need to play the hand.
Just
bid and score. (In Bridge heaven the Declarer makes every hand; and the
Defender sets every hand. Quite dull. Try the other place.) If you make
every hand you bid, then you are not bidding high enough.
SMALL SLAM
A Small Slam should be bid if
combined
partnership strength is 33+ HCPs. With 33 points between you and your
partner,
the opponents cannot have two Aces. Remember 40 total HCP and 8 HCP for
the two Aces.
GRAND SLAM
A Grand Slam should be bid if
combined
partnership strength is 37+ HCPs. With 37 points between you and your
partner,
the opponents cannot have one Ace.
