Today we are going to work on identifying bids that LIMIT a hand to within 3-ish points. Also remember that once you've limited your hand, you should be VERY cautious about bidding again. Pard is in charge of initiating any more action and will have you walking on your own if you try to grab the captaincy.
Essentially there are three and a half kinds of limit bids. First, any rebid of an old suit by either partner limits the hand. Second, any bid of No-trump by anyone at any time in the auction is limiting. Third, pre-empts limit hands to usually 5-9 HCP. Finally, an initial pass is generally a limiting bid.
By the way, you won't have any hands to look at today. You'll be interpreting the bidding instead. It's a lonely street, but someone has to travel it.
