Modern American Bridge Bidding

Welcome

Welcome to the Rockstar Bridge website. The focus of this site is to document and write about a new system of bidding in Bridge. Standard American and 2/1 are good systems, but both have issues. Modern American bridge is broken down into 3 major subsections

  • Opening and Responding to 1 of a Major
  • Bidding with Strong, Preemptive and Competive hands
  • Opening 1 and 1

The Category links in the top menu will show articles on these subsections.

You can read the Modern American blogs

A quick overview of the Modern American:

Rockstar is a transfer based modern 2/1 bidding system.

Unique elements:

  • Colorado 2, the 1 1/2 NT opener
  • MH 2, the strong bid
  • Transfer responses after 1 opening
  • The Macaw (unbalanced) 1 opening
  • The Extensile 2 response to major suit openings and the non-forcing 1NT
  • Compressed Bergen major suit raises
  • XYZ and Kokish Game Tries
  • 4-way Transfers and mini-splinter after no trump openings
  • TRaSH vs opponents NT and strong 1
  • TRaP vs weak NT
  • Rocksohl vs opponents interference of our NT
  • Expert Gerber
  • And so much more
