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)

    “It seems that I must bid the Muse to pack,
    Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friend
    Until imagination, ear and eye,
    Can be content with argument and deal
    In abstract things; or be derided by
    A sort of battered kettle at the heel.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
