for Advanced Beginners
with Meagan Powell
Meagan Powell is offering a 12-week series
on the Basic Bridge Challenge Topics
These topics are all still considered part of Basic Bridge,
but they have a little more depth.
Wednesday, March 31st
This week's Bridge 3 Lesson is on Responder Rebid - Part III
This topic discusses a Responder's Rebid with an Unbalanced or
Unusual hand.
Concepts covered:
* Rebidding Responder's 6+-card suit vs 5+-card suit
* Responder choosing to Rebid 2NT or 3NT after Opener's Rebid
* Responder bidding with two 5-card Majors
* Responder bidding with 2 longish suits
Topics Covered in our 12-week Basic Bridge Challenge Topics series will cover
the fundamentals of
* Blackwood and Gerber basics for Slam Bidding
* Common Takeout Doubles vs Simple Overcalls
* Big Overcall Takeout Doubles vs Simple Overcalls
* Opener and Responder Initial Bids and Rebids:
- Responding with a New Suit on the 1-level or 2-level
- Responding with a 1NT "Junk Drawer" or a 2NT-3NT balanced hand
- Rebidding 6+ card suits when no initial Fit is found
- Rebidding 1NT - 2NT as Opener to show balanced hand and points
- Rebidding a two-suited hand, including the JumpShift
- Other Miscellaneous Rebidding topics
Note: If you took any of these courses with Meagan in the summer or fall of 2020,
can consider taking them again here IF you feel you need to review
them at a BASIC level.
