Case's LadderZine

LadderZine Strategy: Spades

  • If the total table bid is 12 or more, always try to set the opponents.
  • If the total table bid is 10 or below, always go for bagging your opponents.
  • If the total table bid is 11, then you must play it as you go: maybe set, maybe bag.
  • Never bid nil with more than three spades and no spade over the value of a Jack, unless in a win-or-lose situation.
  • As a general rule, when you are the fourth and final bidder, never bid more than a total table bid of 13.
