The best way to understand IMP strategy is to look at the gains and losses for certain actions. \u00a0You will learn which risks have worthwhile payoffs. \u00a0I’ll present a few scenarios and we’ll compare your action and result to hypothetical opponents to see how much you gain or lose.<\/p>\n
Suppose you are trying to decide whether or not to bid 4H. \u00a0Let’s look at your possible outcomes versus your actions.<\/p>\n
If you make 4H vulnerable you score _________ . \u00a0If you go down one trick you score ________ .<\/p>\n
If you stop in a part score and make 10 tricks in H you score ________ . \u00a0If you make 9 tricks you score ______.<\/p>\n
Assume both sides make 10 tricks, but only one side bids the game. \u00a0That side wins ______ IMPS.<\/p>\n
Assume both sides make 9 tricks, but only one side bids the game. \u00a0That side loses ______ IMPS.<\/p>\n
You should bid a vulnerable game if you have about a ________ % chance or better of making it.<\/p>\n
Suppose you are trying to decide whether or not to bid 4H. \u00a0Let’s look at your possible outcomes versus your actions.<\/p>\n
If you make 4H non-vulnerable you score _________ . \u00a0If you go down one trick you score ________ .<\/p>\n
If you stop in a part score and make 10 tricks in H you score ________ . \u00a0If you make 9 tricks you score ______.<\/p>\n
Assume both sides make 10 tricks, but only one side bids the game. \u00a0That side wins ______ IMPS.<\/p>\n
Assume both sides make 9 tricks, but only one side bids the game. \u00a0That side loses ______ IMPS.<\/p>\n
You should bid a non-vulnerable game if you have about a ________ % chance or better of making it.<\/p>\n
Suppose you are trying to decide whether or not to\u00a0double their part score contract, where they will make a game if they make the contract.<\/p>\n
If you set them 1 trick and they are vulnerable\u00a0you score _________ . \u00a0Set them two tricks and you score ______.<\/p>\n
If they make the contract you score\u00a0\u00a0________ .<\/p>\n
Assume you double the opponents in 3H while your teammates play the same contract undoubled, making the same number of tricks.<\/p>\n
If you beat it two tricks vulnerable while your teammates go down 2 undoubled, you win ______ IMPS.<\/p>\n
If you beat it one trick while your teammates go down 1, you win ______ IMPs.<\/p>\n
If they make it doubled while your teammates make it undoubled, you lose _______ IMPs.<\/p>\n
Bottom line: \u00a0Don’t double if you’re just trying for a one trick set.<\/p>\n
