In competitive bidding, always bid what you are going to bid with confidence and without hesitation.

The 5-level belongs to the opponents.

When in doubt, bid one more.

Was this hand meant for competitive bidding? I took it to mean tips for competition like eating correctly etc.

Use fork and knife, keep your hands above the table and get in, get out.

I meant COMPETITIVE BIDDING. Did I use the wrong word for the thread? I am German, using my school English... If I was wrong we could open another thread, or?
