SPECIAL 3-week Course with Jeff Badler
Monday at 6:30 PM
Tuesday 9:00 AM
The goal is for you to feel comfortable using control bids to decide if you should be investigating slam. Then use the 1430 Roman Keycard Blackwood convention (RKC) to find a slam or prevent you from bidding a bad one. Jeff Badler will teach you the basics of RKC and how control bids help get you there.
Many hands will be bid and played and extensive notes will be distributed, along with hands for you to practice on your own. The course will be offered separately on Mondays and Tuesdays.
