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

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
