ACOL Bridge Bidding for Beginners

The very first thing you will learn is how to count the number of points in your hand. В If you have too few points you cannot open the bidding and must pass. В The total number of points in your own hand and your partner"s hand give an indication of how many tricks you should win. В You can"t just ask your partner which cards they hold, so you bid. В As the bidding progresses you and your partner are exchanging messages about the content of your hand.

Some bridge clubs are friendly and relaxed about bidding mistakes from beginners. В Others take the game a bit more seriously. В If you are just starting to play bridge it is really helpful to be able to practice your bidding skills at home, where no-one else can see your mistakes! This will help you become more confident about your bidding.

Learning to play bridge can open up a whole new world - you will make new friends and never be short of social engagements. В If you are newly retired bridge is a great way of extending your social life. В It is also a great way of helping older people to keep their brain active as it requires concentration.
