Winning Strategies at Duplicate with Jack Stocken

Wherever you play, you'll notice some players who consistently do a bit better than everyone else in the results. What do these players know that is helping them excel so consistently?

When we play duplicate bridge, a better understanding of how our results will be compared to others' can give us clarity while bidding, and bring our game to the next level. 

These brand new intermediate-level lessons will improve your confidence at the table and make you more aware of the winning strategies needed to rise up the duplicate ladder. It is so exciting to see one’s name at the top of the club leaderboard and this instructive course will help you on your way.

Available only for Jack Stocken's class members at learnbridgeonline.com

Part Score Bidding 

presented live 4 September, 2023, 9:30am UK time

Do no push for close game contracts. If partner plays well and makes the required overtricks that you would have made in game, then you will score well anyway.

Game Bidding

presented live 2 October, 2023, 9:30am UK time

Prefer a 4 – 4 major suit fit to 3NT as most of the time you will get an extra trick. Avoid 5 of a minor and we will also look at the benefits of a 6 – 2 and 5 – 3 major suit fit over 3NT

Slam Bidding

presented live 6 November, 2023, 9:30am UK time

Do not push for close slams at pairs and if you believe you have a slam, blast it. If you think the field won’t bid the slam, bid the safest slam and if you think the field will bid the slam, then bid the higher scoring slam

Doubling and Saving

presented live 4 December, 2023, 9:30am UK time

Make a penalty double more freely at pairs and leave in partner’s penalty double more often. Also, double conventional bids at pairs for the lead and don’t make sacrifice bids

We hope to have you join us! Please don't hesitate to respond with any questions about Jack's online lessons here at LBO.

Yours
