SUMMARY:Celebrity Bridge Seminar with Gavin Wolpert
DESCRIPTION:Dealing With Overcalls by Gavin Wolpert\nModern overcalls are getting lighter and lighter every day. It is critical that we have a firm understanding of what our bids mean in order not to let overcalls push us around. These seminars take a step-by-step approach to discussing the various positions we find ourselves in after the opponent’s overcall.  \nThese seminars will benefit the low intermediate level and work their way up.  They cover those pesky situations when opponent’s overcall leaves you scratching your head as to what to bid.  They review some common negative double situations\, as well as responders 2-level bids in competition.  They then shift to discuss opener’s rebid in competition including what is forcing and what isn’t\, how to express a fit\, when to drive for game. \nDetails: \n\nJanuary 29 – Dealing With Overcalls 1\nFebruary 12 – Dealing With Overcalls 2\n\nInformation & Registration
