Bridge Basics 2.5 – Review and Refresh..designed as a six week course, Steve is stretching this course into one that covers 8 weeks to give you lots of practice hands. This course is a great review of the fundamentals of bidding. Completing this course should help the advancing player consolidate his understanding of the effectiveness of overcalls, take out bids, strong opening bids, and pre-emptive bids. In addition,  Steve will highlight what he thinks is perhaps the key to successful bidding - rebids by opener and responder....what's forcing, what's invitational, what's signing off. Tips on declarer play which focus on how to eliminate losers will also be included.
