Tuesday 11 March 2025

In advanced beginners, we continued learning about bidding after a forcing 1NT.  In beginners we discussed Stayman and transfers after a NT open.  Next week there will be no Advanced class and Suzanne will review responding to an open at the one level.

We had 6 full tables in our pupil game. The Cullys were surprised to win with 66.67% (I don't know why they were surprised, they win a lot,) Gerri and Kathy were in second place with 55.56% and John B and Joan N came in third with 55% (Well done!)  I will be in Memphis next week at the National tournament.  Suzanne will run the Pupil game and the review lesson mentioned above.  Remember NO ADVANCED LESSON NEXT WEEK. See you in two weeks! --Carl

 

 

Another Bridge Boot Camp is happening THIS SATURDAY March 8, 2025

What it will be like:

    We will discuss up to 27 randomly dealt boards, one at a time.  Attendees will bid and play the same hand, followed by discussion of how I would have bid  and played the hand and why. A hard copy of the hands and my discussion of the bid and play will be provided at the end of the camp.  I will have enough sets of cards to handle up to 5 tables.  If needed, due to extra players that don't fill out a table, some players will need to rotate as observers, but no one will need to do so for more than a few of the hands.  That will only happen if we have one or two extra because I will fill out the table if we have three extra.

It will start at 10 AM and continue until 4 PM or until 27 boards have been discussed, whichever comes first.  There will be a 15 minute break for lunch at about noon, but no lunch will be available, so bring your own.  

The fee will be $15/person, which is divided between Centennial Hall, North Hampton DBC, and me.
