Limit Bids : Bridge Online

index

Limit bids are an important part of both the Acol and Standard systems. These bids show a specific type of shape, and guarantee a certain number of HCP.

The two main types of limit bids are
• notrump bids
• same suit bids - a suit that has been bid before by either player
