View source for Pass-or-correct bid

In the card game [[Contract bridge|bridge]] a '''pass-or-correct bid''' (or '''convertible bid'''), is a non-[[forcing bid]] that asks the partner to pass or bid differently based on her/his holding. Pass-or-correct bids are generally used as responses to multiway bids.

A typical example is the 2{{Spades}} response on a [[multi 2 diamonds]] opening that asks the partner to pass with a weak hand with long spades or to bid three hearts with a weak hand and long hearts. This 2{{Spades}} bid implies length in hearts and denies length in spades.

Pass-or-correct bids that are made in a suit you do ''not'' hold when the length in one of two suits has been shown by the partner's bid are also referred to as ''paradox responses''.
