Counting in Bridge with Pam Livingston

$40

The ability to count to 13 goes a long way to defending a bridge hand!  13 cards in each suit as well as 10 high card points.  Clues from the auction and the play, and a little help from partner, lead us to understand the hand better and to be able to make good decisions. 

In this block of lessons, we will practise counting the high card points and also look at counting the distribution.  We will learn when and how a count signal is given and how we can use that information.

Suitable for Acol and Standard players. Watch all four lessons at your convenience.

About the Class:

Thinking, enjoyment and thinking some more.  My teaching style is to develop your game by encouraging you to think and understand rather than learning by rote.  Bridge is all about making good decisions and I aim  to give you the skills and the confidence to make those decisions.  But we play bridge for enjoyment right?  So let’s have fun too.
 
These lessons are aimed at intermediate players wishing to improve their bidding without making everything too complicated.  You will be comfortable that you have the basics of bidding mastered and are ready for the next step.
