Thumbs down, way down. You’re incompetent. Real teachers film in a classroom environment and use a whiteboard instead of PowerPoint slides. If you can’t do that, you can’t call yourself a teacher.

You’re incompetent. Real teachers use a classroom environment and scrap PowerPoint slides in favor of a physical whiteboard. And you wonder why your game is dying.

Susan and crew - a huge thank you for these wonderful informative video sessions, from BC, Canada!

Very nice. Much thanks...

❤

Very helpful video, a question on responder’s Jacoby 2N, was told not to use it with S’ton or void although in one of your early examples it is being used as such, any views? Also in case of agreed suit being H, wouldn’t kickback RKC help as it starts the process at 4S to avoid overshooting 5H if needed?

Thank you, on the last page the answer to #3 is Pass and the answer to #7 is 2S

Show the cards please.

Thank you Susan, great tips!

A good video susan 🙂

Hi, video at the end states live class at 9AM CT but video description says 830, which is correct?

@27:09 why is there two nines on the table

On board 9, even if diamonds break 3-3 you'd have a very hard time getting more than one trick unless you can get the opponents to play away from their ace twice. So it's far less than 36% chance.

On number 6, you don't need to cue bid, just bid 6S after 3S, you are missing only one ace. No risk of messing up cue bids.

Board 3, east has 14 cards, so you should probably not bid at all, but call the TD :)

Board 2, you'll not make 6NT if opponents lead a spade.

I just wanted to send a big thanks to you for these wonderful free lessons. Much enjoyed up here in Canada :-)

How can I join the saturday zoom class?

At 15:50, wouldn't the 4D bid deny a control in clubs? So partner should not show control in hearts without control in clubs.

Hi Susan in first board why wouldn't north rebid his hearts showing six and then south knows they have a fit. Also if north only had five hearts and bids 2D then my partner and I would play that as south has 11pts and there is no fit - go straight to 3NT.

I think you should mean that Responder can't have EIGHT points ,NOT six , if he passes Partner's opening bid of 1 of a suit...

At 1:06:38 (6c) I'd not open that one 1NT because it only has 12 cards in it. I only play 13 card hands. :)

At 41:30 why would you ask with 5D if you were going to bid 6S anyway? Why not just bid 6S directly?

Pl enlighten us on UDCA, suit preference , attitude & trump preference + situational attitude ... Thnx alot for videos clearing my mist

Thanks Susan, great lesson. I’d like more slam lessons from you.

Good stuff. Thanks for these videos!!

At 37:08, there is zero chance that partner passes and opponents stay silent if you open 1H. I can't imagine what hands they would have for that.

What bidding sequence would lead the partnership to find the 4-4 suit (Hearts in this example) if North opens the 5-card (Spades here) suit first?

More pearls of wisdom :-) thanks again!

I just want to send you a HUGE thank you for these informative, clear sessions.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! A very useful lesson and discussion of how a bid means very different things in different auctions. Similar to how a double can be used for very different purposes and have very different meanings based upon the context of what preceeded it in the auction.

At 32:00 minute, please explain "maxi-Michaels" and how this NS pair might continue to explore for game.

Hand 2 is one of the reasons we play 2NT as the only forcing bid after a weak 2. So that we can bid 2 spades here. Chances are it's better than 2 hearts.

Thank you Susan!

nice

1:07:24 - you wouldn't bid 2S here because after doubling that would show a weak hand with about 6 spades - the bidding could go 3C - 3S - then a special bid of 5S would indicate we probably have everything but we have 2 losers in diamonds - east if they are brave can then bid 7S with a void in diamonds.

Thank you! when using LTC how many losers do you count in the following holdings Qxx, AQx, QJx..?

Thanks Susan. Always look forward to your weekly videos. Love from Brisbane.

Great lesson Susan, especially the last tip. I always wondered which way to lead in a situation like that.

36:00 - this hand you haven't included 4 diamonds - a lot of people play a convention called Non-leaping Michaels - which would show 5 spades and 5 diamonds and happy to play in 5D or 4S.

31:27 - partner still has a bid - I don't think you should be bidding with a 4 card suit personally - so I agree with the woman in the audience here...now if it was the last bid then I might bid 2S with a 4 card suit - but my partner still has a bid where they can protect.

on the 3D opening hand (minute 20) if south had converted the double to penalty..

great class

Hand south at 47:00 has too many cards

who is Mel?

I was confused while taking notes ... The text at the 12th minute says 1m-(P)-2m is a limit raise with 5+ cards in the minor, but at minute 21 the text says to make a 2m response with 6-9 hfp and 4+ card support. I had to rewind to 18th minute (the previous slide) to realize the conversation was continuing to discuss that we revert to "Systems Off" when the 2nd seat opponent interferes.

At 16:51 when opener passes a simple raise, bidding in the balancing seat is also known as an OBAR (Opponents Bid And Raised) bid.

Great

Thank you for the videos. Right at the end where Susan mentions that 5/4 in the majors should be a 1M bid & not 1NT, is this across the full 15-17 range of HCP or for hands that are 16-17 only, otherwise wouldn’t reverse be an issue?

At 43:00 one of the Club Jacks (in the West and South hands) should be a Ten ... doesn't affect the bidding or the ply.
