There's a goldmine of information in these class videos.

I'm really curious to see if anybody plays leaping Michaels in that situation. Might have to ask Karen Walker about that one

I didn't hear a single reference that you even considered for a moment passing two spades

Wow she plays top in another. Haven't seen that in a while. Can sure come in handy in instances like this

Thanks, interesting hand: this is certainly one ugly misfit (and doesn't help that partner's spade suit is also kinda meh). After partner's initial 2S bid, what would 3D from south show? Would that be a western cue bid, looking to play in 3N with a good stop in spades? Or something else? Or just not worth bidding?

The double promised 3 clubs and they will be on the club bidder's right side. His opponent can only win one club. I like the club call. The hand has a 6-loser count, and your partner may not have a strong spade. The auction continues because the new suit is forcing. Let the partnership explore its options.

thank you

What a fantastic lesson. So much information packed into this besides playing Stayman.

Thank you much. How often do you have these lessons. ❤

As one of my bridge mentors says, "Down one is good bridge." Glad you made it work for you!

American xD

Love you Jordan! Thanks for all of your work!

Where can I download the lesson handout?

Over 4D I have huge sympathy for you - I think your reasoning is sound - partner can bid 4C if unsure whether to go for hearts or diamonds. They haven't mentioned hearts so they can easily have a singleton - I don't think you want to be in slam on this hand either. Thank god I didn't get this hand 🙂

Thank you Rosa G. How do I subscribe

Sounds like they've adopted Jerry's winning trick count ua-cam.com/video/Z8cSOMFAefk/v-deo.htmlsi=o_SPV--pquhY4iXs

Charlie is a great mascot 💚 More bridge with pets!! Excellent discussion about the decisions on the hand

COOL 😊

What would a 6C response to the 5S bid mean in the mainline auction? Would it also deny the QH, but also provide partner the addition clue that one of your key cards is the AC? Or does it imply you have the QH?

Best video ever!

Great discussion hand. Added to my IMP playlist. Woof to Charlie.

Charlie is pandering to Smashie? I like it

And I'm not learning to check before I hit send

Kai you really ate learning how to do all this video techie stuff !!!

passing 1d at MP's is automatic

11000 is worth the risk, eh?

Hi Kai, So wonderful to have met you in Toronto! (We’re the couple who met you at the top of the escalator) Your videos are excellent, and this endplay was brilliant! I could never have figured that out! Well done! Looking forward to the conclusion after this cliffhanger ending😊

Greetings fellow bridge lovers!

That endplay was very exciting and well executed: well done! And it's nice to know the pros sometimes mess up on defense, too... That 4H contract was scary!

Fantastic video!

Interesting situation and discussion. Could bidding 5D be an option, with partner potentially correcting to hearts?

Great recap! Can’t wait to hear the outcome!

Ah, opening the bidding on 11-12 point flat hands... Partner and I got into 6D when I opened overly light (it was close to the end of the evening...). In our natural system, partner didn't have a rebid to show a very strong 3-3-4-2 hand, so he just responded 4NT to ask for aces. We were missing one... Plus a whole lot of other points! 5D did make, though... As did 3NT. If I hadn't opened, it would have gone 1D-2N-3N 🤦‍♂

I’d also pass 2!S and 1N. Hand is soft, outside suits aren’t setting up, and we aren’t good for p. Definitely passing 3!S after game try. And I think 2!N by north is bad on 4 card majors. 2M shouldn’t show extras here, they should just be F1. Unfortunately you land in 2N anyway, but with no entries, everything setting up to slowly, so I’m just looking for any plus score after partner shows a min

I’d pass 2!D

You did the right thing. You're too strong to pass, but too weak for a two-over-one response, especially over a takeout double. No way you could know the double was a psych of course. Just the way it goes sometimes.

I'm used to people often playing new suits at the 1 level over the X as forcing, but at the 2 level as non-forcing. If you aren't XX with 10+ and aren't 1/1 then your 2C bid can both describe your hand and limit it somewhat. The hand depends a lot on the fit since it is only 6 losers (so argues game opposite an opener if you have a fit), but only 8 count (and 2 of those the stiff Q), so argues that you likely don't have game if partner passes. Over 2C if LHO bids hearts and/or if partner bids 2D you may be able to back in with 2S. If I held your partners hand I'd pass over 2C and then it would be up to E who I don't know if they'd pass, re-double again or try something else. If your partner did bid 2NT over 2C, I'd think about passing, but think 3C is probably right for fear of no entry. RHO's X witha 15 count and 43 in the majors isn't totally crazy, although if their partner had long clubs they might be in trouble unless they play equal level correction and could bid 2H without showing a single suited power double. Without ELC I'd be more likely to try 1NT than X with that hand.

I think I'd respect partner's 3S bid after the game try and pass

1S then 3C,, 4c. Leaving partner to decide on Spades or Clubs

Honestly, bidding should be Pass 1d 3c and then partner can do what he wants

I wish the UofA had a bridge club when I was there 30-35 years ago. A few of us played occasionally, but nothing organized. Way to go Emilie!

Board 8..... Great light 4th seat opening bid when the enemy is vulnerable at Chicago rubber scoring Kills their vulnerability.

Why were you surprised at Ward one? You fully described your hand limiting it. Your partner said thanks but no thanks your stiff is not useful😊

Kai has since had some GNT success!

I didn't hear it did you mention the rabbis rule about dropping stiff Kings?

Looks lil a lot of fun!!!

Kai, so glad I stumbled upon this series. You are a gem. My partners and I do It's Your Call in the Bulletin every month. What you do here is bring to life all the rich, robust thought that goes into every call. I'm pleased to discover that my bidding is in the ballpark of such elite thinkers as you and your guests. Congrats on doing such an amazing job. Big fan!!!

Please tell us where on acbl website we can find these hands and notes. TY
