ANXIETY OR OPPORTUNITY?

Preempts often interfere with your bidding as they rob you of valuable bidding space. Others in your seat face the same obstacle.  So, there is no need to be overly anxious.  Indeed, you have an opportunity to do better than the others! Join Gloria as she illustrates key concepts for coping with preemptive bids.

You will learn when to use (or not use) overcalls, jump overcalls, takeout doubles, notrump bids, cuebids, and the pass card.
