Bob McBroom's Lessons
by Paula Olivares 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Greetings everyone, There have been some requests for me to start up lessons again. I am certainly willing to do that, but first I would need some idea of the best day/time. I have included two links to so-called Doodle polls where you can pick the best day and time that works for you. This link is for Intermediate lessons: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/YaO8E5Bb This link is for Advanced lessons: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/nel7MMgd Intermediate lessons will cover these potential topics. If you are interested please send me your top four in order of preference in an email. *Intermediate Topics* Opener’s Rebids Rebids by Responder Law of Total Tricks (competitive bidding) Opening Leads Defense (Signaling, second and third hand play) Overcalling weak and strong 1NT (DONT, Meckwell, Capalletti) Key Card Blackwood (including queen ask and responding with a void) Inverted minors 2/1 with forcing NT These are possible Advanced topics. Again list your interest in order of preference. If there is something else you are interested in let me know. *Advanced Topics* Redoubles (e.g. 1h double redouble 2c ? what happens next? (How do we penalty double? How do we compete if we can’t penalty double?) Key card (including Queen ask, voids, asking for Kings) Cue bidding vs. “blasting” Grand Slam Force (Advanced version) Minorwood and Exclusion End Plays Lebensohl Modified Wolff (rebids after a jump to 2NT by opener) XYZ The Intermediate lessons will last from 2 to 2 ¼ hours. The Advanced lessons will last about 1 ½ hours. They are not linked so you can take as many or as few as you wish. The cost of each lesson is $5. Please indicate your preferred times above and email me if you are interested in either set of lessons at rbmcbroom(a)gmail.com. Some people have already paid me – you know who you are! Please mail your payments (or you can Zelle or Venmo me). My address is 23657 White Oak Court, Newhall 91321. My Venmo account is Bob-McBroom-1 and my phone number is 661 993-5115.
