This 4-Week course explores suit contracts requiring us to think in losers instead of winners ~ specifically in the master hand ~ and then eliminating the losers. The two suit techniques of Trumping and Discarding will be used to eliminate the Master Hand losers. We will answer the question of when to draw trump and when not to draw trump. You will be playing your suit contracts with confidence at the end of this course.

4 Weeks * Level: Intermediate+/Advanced
This 4-week course has Responder placing the four hand strengths into “buckets” so that the Opener can decide Which Level and Which Denomination in placing the Partnership’s final contract. The bidding ladder includes weak, invitational, game going and slam hands. We will also explore the 4th Suit Forcing Convention which helps Responder describe game-going and slam strength hands without the fear of Opener passing!
