Question 9

what is a 3 card limit raise?

Answer 9

In contract bridge, a “three-card limit raise” is a conventional bid used to show support for a partner’s opening bid in a major suit (hearts or spades). This bid typically indicates a hand with three-card support for the major suit and enough strength to invite game (10-12 points), but not necessarily to force it.

The bid is intended to invite the partner to bid game if they have additional strength, but it doesn’t force the game bid. It suggests that the combined hands may be strong enough for a game contract.
