SUMMARY:Celebrity Bridge Seminar with Adam Parrish
DESCRIPTION:The final Celebrity Bridge Lesson of 2022 will be Adam Parrish who will be covering Preempts. \nAdam Parrish literally wrote the book on this subject (the seminar comes with an ebook copy of his newest book\, Parrish the Thought Volume 1: Preempts and Overcalls). This 90-minute online seminar will cover these questions and more. If you’ve ever had questions about preempts\, you won’t want to miss this one. \nPreempts raise so many questions: When do you preempt? How do seat and vulnerability affect preempts? What do you do when partner preempts? How do you handle preempts by your opponents?  \nInformation & Registration

SUMMARY:Celebrity Bridge Seminar with Adam Parrish Part II
DESCRIPTION:The first class on Preempts!!! was very well received and covered what to do when you have a “preemptable” hand.  Class-takers were interested in the other part of preempting bidding: how to respond and how to compete against preempts. \n \nAdam Parrish literally wrote the book on this subject (the seminar comes with an ebook copy of his newest book\, Parrish the Thought Volume 1: Preempts and Overcalls). This 90-minute online seminar will cover these questions and more. If you’ve ever had questions about preempts\, you won’t want to miss this one. \nInformation & Registration
