Learn and Practice Bidding Conventions (LPBC) allows you to learn six different conventions, including their responses and rebids, and offers millions of different practice deals for those conventions. LPBC is ideal for new players, as well as for improving players who would like to add some conventions to their repertoire. LPBC includes these six conventions:
  • Stayman
  • Jacoby Transfers
  • Jacoby 2NT
  • Michaels Cue-Bids
  • Negative Doubles
  • Weak Two-Bids
  • LPBC is a massive expansion of the Learn Conventions feature in Bridge Baron. Here are some of the differences between LPBC and Bridge Baron’s Learn Conventions feature:
  • Learn Conventions allows you to practice each convention in Bridge Baron. LPBC teaches you six conventions in depth using the interactive Bridge Baron Teacher architecture, and allows you to practice these conventions as well.
  • LPBC teaches you and allows you to practice responses and rebids for conventions, while Learn Conventions does not offer practice of responses and rebids for conventions.
  • In LPBC, if you make an incorrect bid, the program usually explains to you what is wrong with that specific bid. In Learn Conventions, the program does not explain to you why a specific bid is incorrect.
  • LPBC has an improved user interface.
  • The Learning part of LPBC includes the following features:
  • Detailed explanations of the conventions
  • Simple and easy interface
  • Interactive quizzes

    The Practice part of LPBC includes the following features:

  • Millions of practice deals
  • Practice responses and rebids for conventions
  • Generate “near miss” deals: deals where you should not to use a convention
  • Generate “trap” deals: deals where the program sets a trap for you in response and rebid situations—only one bid is correct, but one or more other bids are very close to being correct
