 Rule of 500 When you Overcall or Preempt,
you guarantee partner you won't go down more than 2 tricks if vulnerable, or 3 tricks nonvulnerable. So if the opponents
double you, your side won't give up more than 500 points. This is why you need a good suit to Overcall or Preempt.

 Kick Bid When you make a bid and

 Picture Bidding Bidding your suits in
such a way that partner can tell your shape. They might for instance find out through the bidding that you are
you are 5-3-4 and deduce you have a singleton Club. This might really help them decide on game or slam! Get the
