SUMMARY:Celebrity Bridge Seminar with Gavin Wolpert
DESCRIPTION:“Reverses\, Jump Shifts + Common Questions” Saturday\, January 28\, 9:30-11am\n \n\nThe first part of this two-part series will be about defining reverses and discussing the fundamental differences between strong jump shifts and reverses. We will also answer common questions like ‘Are reverses on in competition?  Do reverses in 2/1 show extras?  How forcing are reverses?’   There are so many common mistakes made related to reverses.  We will go through tons of bidding examples and iron out lots of these issues.  Intermediate and Above \n\n“Continuing after Reverses” Saturday\, February 4\, 9:30-11am\nThe second part of the series will deal with the major problem with reverse auctions in that opener only promises 17 and responder only 6.  This means we are not necessarily going to game.  On the other hand\, responder is unlimited and may have an opening hand that wants to look for slam.  This well-known problem has been solved with a modern method of having a “slow down” bid.  This class will go through the modern standard method for how responder can slow down reverse auctions by using the cheaper of 2NT and the 4th suit.  We will go through responder’s responsibilities and how opener should react.  Advanced Intermediate and Above \nInformation and registration
