Bridge 3 Class with Hank

When: Eight Tuesdays beginning Oct 6 from 9:30 to 11:30
What: The emphasis of Bridge 3 is on beginning play of the hand. Count winners or losers. Can you afford to pull trump first?
We also review Bridge 1 and 2 bidding. Std. American is ok too.
In addition, some new topics are covered: Leads, reverses, finesses, cue bid limit raises, plus some ideas on defense.
Each class consists of a lesson on Zoom and the play of six hands.
Cost: $40: About half goes to Bridge Brigade, half to BBO (or) Shark. It looks like Shark Bridge at this time.
All payments would be to Bridge Brigade.
