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.

At the 6:20 mark, 1S-2H-3C is NOT a reverse if you're playing 2/1 GF. I've not heard anyone describe Reverses as two-suited, but that certainly makes sense. That is very helpful, especially to the Responder in understanding what kind of hand Opener is showing by his second bid. I also like your explanation of how to determine if Opener is rebidding a 5- or 6-card minor. Thank you!

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.

With 10-13 points I usually open the higher ranked suit and just pretend that I have a 5-5 shape. With a good 13+ points I will happily treat it as a reverse and open my longest suit and then bid the other one twice.

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!
@BridgeWithPete
@BridgeWithPete Жыл бұрын
Two way checkback is a different situation. It is used by the responder after opener rebids 1NT on their second bid.

@@BridgeWithPete Oh thanks, still a bit confused,, is this a different situation then. I thought at 3.56 of the vid that was the situation. Opener 1C, responder 1S and Opener bids 1NT,,, you said you could back out by bidding 2C,, so that wouldn't mean check back then? I can't see the difference.

@@MarneyTilley Yep sorry if you are playing 2 way checkback that will take precedent and 2C would tell partner to bid 2D to show an invitational hand.

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?

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)?

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?

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

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.

Where did I say it can be done with a 5-5? I never do it with a 5-5.

Once, I had a hand with 19 points, 4 hearts, and three cards in all other suits.I opened 1 Club, and my partner responded 1 Spade , and I reversed 2 Hearts, after that partner insisted on llaying kn Clubs,and I went down in 6 Clubs where 6NT could have been made.

bidding 2H is a reverse but shows an unbalanced hand. After 1S you want to bid 2NT

I assume similar principles apply to a responder’s reverse.
@henst374

A key difference is that a reverse by responder is usually played as game forcing, so there is no need for blackout (and at this stage all suits could have been bid naturally)

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

Try to avoid using the term "playing" reverses. That implies that it is a conventional bid which it is NOT! A reverse is simply part of the bidding system, whether you play Std. American or 2/1 Game Force or whatever! As you say, its chief function is to avoid getting too high when responder has to go to the 3 level to take a preference.

Lebonsohl is an alternative to blackout. They serve the same purpose and practically speaking, there is little difference between them.
