 2012: Regionals at Sea. Gold Points and daily Larry Cohen lecture.  

 

Alert -- Larry's planned Fall-2012 South America trip has been postponed (Seabourne would not give our group permission to use the card room--and we felt that without the card room, it was a deal killer).  

We will replace this with a luxury Regent cruise, round-trip Fort Lauderdale (Mexico, Belize, Guatemala) in late March, 2012

Dear Fellow Bridge Players,
   Six hundred in June, 600 in September? That's how many of you I saw and hope to see on the road. Maria & I are in the cool mountains of Utah, recouping from 5,500 miles of seminars. In September, we'll hit the road again for 4,500 more miles, with the main stops in Texas. We hope to meet many of you there. 
 
Gitelman, Buffet & Gates...

We had a surprise guest at the Cohen-Grant-Helms bridge seminar this past month in Las Vegas. No, not Warren or Bill, but BBO creator, Fred Gitelman. To see Larry's interview with Fred (as he talks about his connection to Buffet and Gates), click here.

What Should We Play?
Convention Card

My website lists what I consider the most important 4 conventions. Then the next 4, 4 after that, and 4 more. These are constantly mentioned in "Talking Bridge" and I've received many requests for the list. It's been on-line for 10 years now, but for those who couldn't find it:  WHAT SHOULD WE PLAY? 

Two over One
2 over 1
Two over One

 

Last month, we examined Opener's Simple Rebid after a 2-Over-1 GF response. 

 

This month, opener will jump at his second turn. To read about Opener's Jump Rebids, click here.


Rule of 20

Rules

This month we examine a currently popular rule amongst intermediate players, the Rule of 20. Read Marty Bergen's (the inventor) thoughts on the subject, and then Larry's opinion. 

Partners
Regular Feature
Bidding Practice deals with analysis. See if you and your partner can score an elusive 40 out of 40 on the August deals. There are now 120 practice deals in total.
