Thank Graeme, very useful. It must be tough talking and playing at the same time. Any chance of unassuming cue bid as an option on Sky Bridge Club? And give your glasses bill to you accountant, necessary expenditure to pursue your trade = tax deductible surely.
Thanks Graeme, really enjoy your videos. In a past hand (a while ago) you doubled at the 2 level for penalties- tonight you doubled at the 2 level (because you didn’t want to defend 2S) for take out. When does your partner know what the double is for? Cheers Jen
Hi Jen, low level doubles can be a bit tricky. There’s no simple rule that works well but, basically, if you or the opponents are likely to have a trump fit then doubles are mostly takeout. If the auction indicates a misfit then doubles are mostly penalties. Let’s keep an eye out for hands that demonstrate the point and it’ll all start to make more sense.
Thanks Graeme, njoyable as usual. Glad to hear you say Bridge is a hard game .
Thanks Irene!
Hand 4 was a good example of partnership agreement needed for advancers bid. Thanks as always.
Thanks, Allan.

Why didn't you lead the fourth from your longest and strongest which was clubs
Some interesting hands to play for gaining experience.
Hope you found the hands helpful. Thanks for watching!
Hi from UK, later when the sun is up!
get a single prescription that focuses about a foot away, order on line, much better and cheaper
Thanks for the advice!
Graeme, get monofocal contact lens with reader lens in non dominant eye…!
Thanks! Contact lens terrifies me, though. Sticking something in my eye. I know I’m, I’m a baby. 😁
Get varifocals.
Got em!
