Jumping Around
When you Jump, does your Partner Understand?
When you Jump, does your Partner Understand?

 

When you jump in your bidding, does your partner understand what information you are giving? Is a jump by responder the same as a jump by opener?

Larry Cohen warns: Be careful before jumping.

In bidding, jumps are dangerous if they mean something different to you and to your partner. An old classic: what does the auction 1♣ --P--2♥  mean?

The answer: it’s either a weak bid or a strong bid. Great! If you haven’t discussed this with your partner, you shouldn’t do it!

Jump bids have very specific meanings, but sometimes it’s best to not make a jump bid if there’s a chance partner could get confused.

Read Cohen's article to get a clearer picture of how best to jump!
