Cue Bid Raise

The word Advancer does perplex at lot of bridge players.  Most players are unfamiliar with the term.

The Advancer is the player that is responding to the over-caller.  The role of the advancer is massive.  Believe this or not, the advancer holds the key to finding the correct contract level if they are able to give an exact account of their own points (with or without a FIT in partners suit).   

Bidding your partners suit requires SUPPORT (a fit) with a certain amount of points.  Your point level will determine the level at which you offer that support.  In this course, you will learn what a CUE BID RAISE is when offering support.   Remember, the overcall may be weak and this is the very reason whey the cue bid raise is important.  It keeps the bidding nice and low.  This is key.   

Whether you are the responder to the opener or the advancer, a cue bid raise can be used to show support and a FIT with a certain amount of points (and losers).  For those players that are fixated with loser count, this bid is for you!   The amount of losers combined (subtracted from 18) will determine your contract level.

Pop in and enjoy.  Cue bid raises will take your bridge to another exciting level .
