Limit Raises in the Minors

Same invitation — but bring five.

The same invitational raise you learned in the majors — ten to twelve points — but with one important difference: in a minor you need five-card support, not four. Because partner's minor opening can be as short as three cards, only a five-card jump raise guarantees the fit. Lorna keeps it to standard American (no inverted minors), shows why 1♣–3♣ or 1♦–3♦ denies a four-card major and aims the partnership at 3NT, and walks the auction when opener has to bid stoppers up the line instead.

The Rule of 20

When 11 points isn't quite enough.

That borderline hand with shape but not quite enough points — the Rule of 20 helps you decide. Add your high card points to the length of your two longest suits, check for two quick tricks, and you've got a tool that turns hesitation into a clear opening bid. Lorna walks you through four hands so you'll know exactly when to bid and when to pass.

Responding to 1NT with a Minor Suit

When the majors aren't there.

Five card or six, bust or game-going, balanced or shapely — your response changes for each. Lorna walks the full ladder: pass, relay, invite, force, and a few "exceptional sevens" where judgment beats the rules. Partnership agreements made plain, with five hands to test what you've learned.

Limit Raises in the Majors

Ten to twelve, and a four-card fit.

An invitational raise: ten to twelve dummy points and four-card support. In Part 1 Lorna builds the theory — why a guaranteed nine-card fit beats an eight, protecting against bad breaks and freeing your trumps for ruffing. In Part 2 she puts it to work across several hands, handling the auction when the opponents overcall and pushing on toward slam when the fit and controls are there.

Let's Bid This Hand Together

One hand, all the way through.

A real hand from a student game, bid and played from start to finish. South opens a big hand; Lorna walks the whole table round the auction, then picks the opening lead and counts tricks suit by suit to make the contract.

Bridge From Scratch

Right from the very, very start.

Bridge from the very beginning, with nothing assumed. Lorna takes the first-time player one small step at a time — from the cards in the deck to your first hands at the table — explaining every term as it comes up. No maths, no jargon, just a friendly, unhurried start that grows with you as the series goes on.
