More teams advice

This is a video with a group of my beginners where we discuss a few more aspects. A lot of the advice holds up for pairs advice as well.

Entertaining Teams Match

This is an entertaining teams match I played from the EBU lockdown league. Be warned….sometimes it ain’t pretty! There are a lot of big swings in the IMP’s columns….and a great come back…everybody loves a great comeback don’t they?

Stayman

A video on how to play stayman with examples….

Muppet Stayman

Yes this is a thing!

So Muppet Stayman is an upgrade on Puppet Stayman. The idea is to find your 4-4 and 5-3 fits after partner opens or rebids 2NT AND get the strong hand to play out the contract.

The thing to remember is if you are the weak hand is never bid a suit you might want to play in….so bidding a major denies that major!

There are 19 hands here with continuations on to slam in some cases with some added complexity…

Puppet Stayman

In this video I’ll show how you play puppet stayman over a 2NT opener or rebid. Puppet stayman is a way to find 5-3 or 4-4 fits in a major.

2 Way Checkback

This is one of my favourite systems. In this example video I show how you use it playing a weak NoTrump. In other words when the 1 NT re-bid shows 15-17 points. It’s also shortened to 2WCB. In the future i’ll also show how you respond to the 2NT re-bid.

Exit Transfers

This video shows you what to do when you’ve been doubled for penalties in a 1NT (usually weak) contract. Click exit transfers for more detailed notes to go along with the video.

Teams Advice

In this video…I’m going to help you with a few things which commonly come up to help you in your decision making when playing teams. A bridge Teams event uses International Match Points or IMP’s compared to playing in a Matchpointed Pairs event.

Let’s take an example…If you score 110 making 3 and the other 5 pairs make 2NT exactly scoring 120…you would get an outright bottom….but at teams with only 10 points difference in the scores this counts for exactly nothing….it would be known as a flat board.

So straight away there is a massive difference between teams and pairs….
