How To Play Reverses

Listen to my tips on playing reverses in bridge

You need to mention that you always have more cards in your first suit when you reverse. Never do it with two 4, 5 or 6 card suits.

I like all of your explanations. They are clear and concise. Keep your thoughts coming. I have played bridge for 7j0 years off and on and just recently got excited about BBO since I moved to a new location some time ago and hadn't found any partners here. Thanks for all you inspirations. And my scores are improving!!!!!

Eddie Kantar did a comprehensive explanation of reverses in one of his publications and one thing he proposed was what you’re calling Blackout. He didn’t call it that, but it’s the same thing. He also described all the follow up bids by opener and responder.

I use reverse bids and you explained it so well. The tidbit about spotting real six cards rebid vs. cheaper rebid of same suit by responder was helpful. It makes sense. How about series on squeeze?

What impact does an intervening bid have on reverses?

[@garyboyers6055]

I was surprised Pete didn't discuss bidding 6-5 hands (6 in a minor, 5 in a major) when you're too weak to reverse. Some open the major, planning to rebid minor twice. Others say open the minor, and hope you can bid major twice.

These are awesome Pete keep it up. On your BridgeVid site do you have anything on equal level conversions?

[@jonthomson5764]

Like these explanation videos. Any plans on looking at some of the more common conventions to compete against an opposing 1NT opening?

[@tommyp3611]

Our blackout is always the first step up. Works well.

After 1 minor 1 major, how do you feel about raising to 2 major with 3 card support a weak hand and less than 6 in the minor?

[@chrishasney2468]

Pete, do you have a follow-on showing that after a 2/1 bid (even in SAYC) an apparent opener reverse does NOT show extras? Also is there a follow on showing reverses by responder (promising game-going support values only, not a 16+ ish hand)?

[@timm1328]

Ingberman(or Lebensohl) is similar to blackout, except that 2n always shows a bust.

[@MarneyTilley]

Just a query, at 3.56 of the vid you say you can bid 2C,, wouldn't that be a check back if playing 2 way check back? I've only been playing a few years, so still getting my head around it all!

[@charleslawson3580]

You said a reverse could be made with a 5-5 two suited hand. Not so, a reverse promises more length in the first bid suit. With a 5-5 hand you would just open the higher ranking suit.

[@benthomas3395]

I assume similar principles apply to a responder’s reverse.

[@user-ux8bw7ue1c]

If reverse cannot do bid 2NT

Peter do you offering bridge tuition?
