This one-day seminar is for advancing beginners and intermediate players wanting to improve their competitive bidding skills. Competitive auctions are the norm these days. It's imperative that you know how to get in and compete effectively -- and when to keep your mouth shut and stay out of the auction. The best way to get into a competitive auction is to show your suit, either with a preempt or an overcall. This seminar will cover everything you need to know about these essential tools. Preempts • When to preempt and when to stay silent • The importance of vulnerability and position • Responding to partner's preempt • Dealing with opponents' preempts Overcalls • When to overcall and when to stay silent • Choosing between suit overcalls, NT overcalls, takeout doubles, and preemptive jump overcalls • Responding to partner's overcall • Dealing with the opponents' overcalls Attendees will receive handouts on each topic and detailed hand records of the hands we play.
