| Introduction to Bridge 104 Those who have learned the basis (typically Standard American) will now be exposed to the bidding upgrades of the "2 over 1" bidding system.

Top |
| Introduction to Bridge 105 The class is designed for those who are alredy playing bridge regularly, are comfortable with the basic bids in Standard America, and no longer feel a need to have their "Quick Guide" cheat sheet at the table to help with routine bidding. This class covers some of the commonly used beidge conventions that are typically not covered in a beginning series of Bridge Courses (and were not cover in Bridge 101, 102, or 103 mentioned above). Some of the students will know Standard American, others "2 over 1". If you're not sure if this class is right for you, this should be discussed individually with the instructor. A series of 90 minute sessions will be conducted on some of the following conventions. Typically this will include a 45 minute discussion of various topics followed by a 45 minute segment where you BID HANDS with a partner. (This class will focus on bidding and we will not actually be playing any hands). Conventions/Topics to be covered: Michaels' Cue bid and Unusual 2NT, Opening light, Drury, New Minor Forcing, XYZ, Texas Transfers, DONT, 4 suit Transfers, Ogust, Support Doubles, 4th suit Game Forcing, Jacoby 2NT, 2D GF, Roman Key Card Blackwood (RKBC), and Losing Trick Count. 513-580-4229 or LTPBridge@gmail.com Cost is $100 per student.

| Larry's Bridge to Bridge (B2B) This is a program for folks coming out of lessons, providiong a transition from bridge classes to playing bridge (social or structured play). It offers a time to play informally at the Cincinnati Bridge Center with other beginners with the added benefit of an available "coach" (a more experienced bridge player) to keep you on the right path. Typically there are 2 to 4 tables of people who have recently finished a series of beginning bridge courses and are looking for a way to begin playing this wonderful card game, not just sitting in a class learning about it. No need to bring a partner. Larry will email prospective students each weekend to see who's interested in the coming Tuesday. If there's enough interest (and we have a 'quorum'), then Larry will hold B2B. Larry will email late Sunday or Monday attendees to confirm that the session will take place. 513-580-4229 or LTPBridge@gmail.com Top |
