HARD HANDS VI

The hands in the texts are easy, but then you sit at the table…and the REAL hand is H-A-R-D!  What are the experts thinking when they make a decision?  Real considerations from the experts when thinking about a hand that ‘doesn’t fit the mold.’  Learn HOW to think about a Hard Hand.  Bidding is, after all, just a conversation…and sometimes conversations are tough.

After we go over the hands, an expert comes in and we give them to him (or them) cold!  Watch experts think on their feet.  Good sports, all!

CARD READING – What does COUNTING really mean and how do I do it?

Here’s the bad news:  You can never rise above mediocrity unless this becomes automatic.  Here’s the good news:  You can absolutely learn to turn your ‘counting gene’ on.  This WILL change your game.  This is how you see through the backs of the cards.

Note à

Walt and Julie Murphy begin their series on Defense May 12.  It runs through July 22.

I’ll begin teaching more classes July 29.
