| BridgeWhiz Module 2: Major Trump Suit Bidding and Play |
Module 2: Major Trump Suit Bidding and Play
You will begin the process of learning how to bid. You will learn to search for an 8+ card major suit fit. Bidding sequences with a 5-3, 6-2 and 4-4 major suit fit will be learned. You will also learn about the No Trump bidding ladder - When to open 1NT or 2NT. You will learn your first 2 bidding conventions, Stayman to find a 4-4 major suit fit after a 1NT opening bid and Jacoby transfer to find a 5-3 major suit fit and to determine level with a 6-2 major fit after a 1NT opening bid. The course will also focus on how to play a trump suit contract to include counting losers, trumping losers and discarding losers.
Hope that everyone is enjoying the lessons.
A quick reminder that you have your BridgeWhiz class on Saturdays at 9:00 AM PDT.
I’ll still be at Mountain Shadows for the lessons, but you can also participate from home. From home, you can access the class 15 minutes before your class time.

KEEP PLAYING!!!!
f you really want to get better, you must practice. You can’t just attend lessons once a week and expect to be a great or even a good bridge player. You must spend time outside of class playing and practicing bridge. There are many opportunities to play bridge on your own or with others. The good thing is that if you have just 5 minutes, you can go online to bid or play a hand!
You can practice bidding with robots at http://www.saycbridge.com/bid
This is a great way to practice bidding. Bidding is like any language, the more you practice the better you become.
ACBL offers endless deals with bidding or just declarer play. An excellent way to practice. You can practice playing hands at Just Declare this is a great way to spend ten minutes or more practicing playing hands. If you want to practice both bidding and playing you can go here:
