Cue Bid

In contract bridge, a cue bid (also, cuebid or cue-bid) is a term that applies to two types of bid:

  • A bid of a suit that has already been bid by opponents.
  • A slam-investigating bid made during an auction's later rounds that shows control of a suit. This is a traditional use of the term, but in the early 21st century the usage appears to be giving way to control bid.

Famous quotes containing the words cue and/or bid:

    “Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it
    Without a prompter.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
    How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
    To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
    And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
    Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
    Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
