WORKSHOP TO IMPROVE SLAM BIDDING

We have scheduled a one session workshop to introduce you to the Minorwood and Exclusion Blackwood conventions. Minorwood covers the situation in which you can ask for controls without risk of getting too high. Exclusion Blackwood covers the situation in which you have a void suit and have no interest in the ace of that suit. You will learn how and when to use each convention, including follow-up bids (asking for the trump Queen or Kings). The workshop includes lots of practice hands.  Come alone or with a partner.

Details: Tuesday, October 29th, 8:50 to 10:50 at O'Dell Recreation Center.  Email Rich Seidman (raseidman@gmail.com) to sign up.
