Bridge Terms


  Slam Zone  When you can count 31+ points between your hand and partner's you are in the Slam Zone. Start bidding your way towards slam always leaving yourself an easy "out" in case you need it.
 
  Nonworking Endplay  This is what happens when you try to make the opponents lead to you but you've forgotten to strip your hand adequately so they wind up with a safe exit card.
 
  Tempt a Cover  When you don't know whether to drop or finesse a missing honor you can try leading something like a Jack. Even if you were planning on playing for the "drop", players who always cover an honor with an honor without thinking about it first, will make the decision for you.
 
  UnDouble  What you wish you could do on many hands where Partner's bidding has gotten you too high!
