Figure Out Your Goal for Each Suit – with Adam Parrish
PreviewPlay the hand first! Click on the bids and cards you’d like to play. Then watch the video to hear Adam Parrish’s discussion with Learn Bridge Online host, Antara Keelor.
Often the way to play a suit depends upon our needs in the suit. Do we need one trick? Do we need 2 tricks? Do we need to avoid a loser?
What if you aren’ t sure? Sometimes you should test another suit first because that can help clarify your goal is in the other suit.
With each hand, we can ask ourselves, “What are my goals in each suit, and how can I achieve them?” This will help us assess whether we need to set up a trick, avoid a loser, or secure multiple tricks in a particular suit. By understanding our goals, we can make informed decisions about the sequence of plays and increase our chances of success.
