Play Modern Bridge with Andrew Robson Clip1

[Iain1962]

First example

1 Spade 4 spades?

I would have bid 2 clubs, to fish for more information, 3 no trumps is easier to make and more valuable, if partner has diamonds covered 3 Nt is better than 4 Spades.

1Spade opening with this hand?

With that hand and 13 HCP. I would open 1NT .

If you open 1 Spade, you do not have a rebid

[lustrzanek]

1S - 2S is not so good as 1S - 3S in situation of 6 points - even with 6+12 (minimum 18) we can block our opponent - that's why this system is weak.

lol my friend seems tot hink texas hold em poker is the most complicated card game around....he has yet to learn bridge, pinochle, or euchre

[lakefrontanku]

A good analogy (or at least suitable) would be this.

"Bridge is to Texas Hold 'Em as Chess is to Checkers"

I've won Hold 'Em tournaments with up to 150 players, and I still am learning the subtleties of bridge.

Very good tutorial. Do you have a video previous to this one explaining the high card point values and how to open the bidding in more depth as an introduction on youtube?

[AndrewRobsonBridge]

Yes it is Acol

[ricefieldsandbeer]

Nice intro, ans thanks for posting but I also wondered how different this was than American Standard, given the opening with 4 card majors. Also, I was taught to add 3 points for a void, 2 for a singleton and 1 for a doubleton. The distributive values in this video ( 5 for a void, 4 for a singleton ) seem high. But HEY, whatever floats your boat, and this vid is really easy to follow.

May I ask,iIs this Acol, or a European system we don't play in the States?

[xgreatking]

bridge is the shit

[drkrag]

@xgreatking : things you said is shit!

[mentaldiet]

This is a not American Standard, with opening of 4 card majors.

[uhhuhcheckit]

Wow. People have tried to teach me to play bridge before, but no one has managed to do so as clearly as you. Thank you!

[ChaoticSinge]

Thanks. I learned something.
