explanation ( 15:59:15 WedJun 11 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Whisper At a recent team game the opponents started cue bidding and at the end of the auction the question was asked about the first cue bid and the answer was it was a "cue-bid" The player was actually bidding a second round control and did not correct his partner or rather did not alter his partners description to first or second round control. The grand slam was made with the Ace missing of the suit that had been cue bid as a first or second round control. The grand may have been made with the full explanationbut the lack of a full description may have helped the grand. Some advice please.

It is just the name of a bid that can have many widely-varried meanings. You are certainly entitled to an explaination of what the bid shows according to the opponents methods. --- John S.

Re: explanation ( 23:13:45 WedJun 11 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper It does depend a bit on local methods. If most people would understand cue-bid as first or second round control then the explanation, while not really adequate, is hardly misleading. But in most parts of the world a cue-bid without further amplification would be understood as first-round control, expecially the first cue-bid by a player, and an adjusted score might easily be given if a pair plays first or second round controls but does not say so. --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm
