It is time to take your skills to a higher level. There are those that have been playing for years and never learned this material. This course is perfect for you.
The Just Beyond Beginner Bridge online series has been extremely popular. I created six series of JBBB. Each is 6-8 weeks long. You can enter at the start of any series, with the exception of series 2, for which JBBB 1 is a prerequisite.
You will become very comfortable with the 2 over 1 bidding system, which is mandatory learning for all players. It is not an entirely new system from Standard American. It is a modification that helps your partnership reach game contracts. This goes hand in hand with Forcing No Trump. I will then introduce you to slam bidding using 1430 Roman Keycard Blackwood. Nothing in bridge is more exhilarating than bidding and making slams. Many of my students remember their first slams, as the rush is unforgettable.
The course includes one online practice session. I want you to be comfortable using the bidding conventions, so I have added 2 hours of practice to solidify the use of your new bidding conventions.
Often a class builds on previous ones. Don’t worry if you miss a session, I will provide a good quality recording, the hands and class notes (given in advance of class) so you will never fall behind. You will also be given access to the recordings and hands of the practice classes.
What's included?
* Six 2-hour online classes. After the auction, you will be the declarer for every hand.
* One 2-hour online practice session enabling you to become more accustomed to using the bidding you learned.
* Access to the live broadcast.
* Access to recordings of all the classes, including the practice sessions.
* Class notes for every session.
* Copies of the hands we play with explanations.
* You will be able to replay the hands in between classes. Repetition is very valuable and one of the keys to success.
I will stream all the classes live online using Zoom and you will have ample opportunity to ask questions.
