Responder\u2019s hands can be subdivided into one of five hand patterns, two supporting opener\u2019s first or second bid suits, two based on one or two-suited hands, the last expressing a balanced hand. Regarding strength, responder\u2019s hand falls in one of three types: minimum, game signoff, slam interest. Using this framework, we will develop appropriate responses to opener\u2019s reverses including the addition of the Lebensohl conventional rebid.<\/p>\n<p>Unauthorized Information, specifically hesitations and a break in tempo lead to frequent appeals at ACBL national tourneys and the Fall 2005 Denver NABC was no exception. Yet this month we will focus on a different issue \u2013 misinformation, an issue that also pops up with some regularity in Duplicate Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>Are you looking for an extra edge to literally see through your opponents\u2019 cards? Then our April issue has just the device for you! Step up and be the first at your table to sport your very own xray vision glasses at the table! Better yet, using this approach you do not have to read any Bridge book (Right Through The Pack). Okay, we were just pulling your leg \u2013 April Fools! We hope you enjoyed our well-meaning prank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>READ THE NEWSLETTER Continuing the saga of reverse bidding, this month we will turn our attention to the meaty topic of responder\u2019s rebids.
