 Value Bid A bid that might not make but it is
certainly the right bid to make considering the situation at hand.

 Escape Mechanism Leaving yourself
an "out" in case you get doubled. You bid 5C, the opponents Double so you Retreat to NoTrump.
|
 Pattern Bid Making several bids so
that partner will eventually be able to tell your exact shape. You could show them exactly 4-4-4-1 shape, or 5-5
shape or even 6-4 shape.
|
 Passing The Buck Not committing
to game but instead making a bid that's almost there and then leaving it up to partner.
