Bidding a slam in bridge is fun because it’s a mix of risk, teamwork, and triumph — all the things that make the game exciting. Monty will be offering a class focused on slam bidding starting Monday, November 3rd. Classes will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will be held in the Poker Room (small room adjacent to the kitchen). $20 fee for the 4 week class.
Here’s why slam bidding feels so good:
-
It’s a challenge.
A slam means taking on 12 or even all 13 tricks. That’s ambitious — and pulling it off takes skill and courage. The thrill comes from aiming high and testing how well you and your partner really understand each other’s hands.
-
It rewards teamwork.
Slam bidding is like solving a secret code with your partner. You use subtle bids and signals to communicate strength without revealing too much to your opponents. When the two of you get it right, it’s deeply satisfying — you’ve worked in sync under pressure.
-
It’s high-stakes.
The points are bigger, and so is the drama. There’s an adrenaline rush when you realize a slam might be possible — and even more when you commit to it.
-
It feels like a win even before the cards are played.
Bidding a slam successfully isn’t just luck; it’s proof that your judgment, communication, and strategy are on point.
-
And when you make it? Pure joy.
There’s nothing like seeing a bold contract pay off — especially when your tablemates are impressed (or a little jealous).
In short, bidding a slam is fun because it’s the perfect blend of brains, nerve, and partnership — the moment bridge becomes more than a game and turns into a shared victory.
