Counting Class – Live Monday June 28th 9:30am
Be Someone who Counts… There are clues in bidding and in the cards played that allow players to determine who has what cards and sometimes permit players to make contracts (or defeat contracts) that would otherwise make. The key to success in bridge is counting… but the trick is to figure out what to count and how. It turns out that counting hands is not rocket science and it isn’t black magic… it’s something that anyone can learn. If you can count to thirteen and if you learn what to watch for, you too can be Someone who Counts. This class consists of the analysis of hands with special emphasis on learning what to look for, how to count, and how to identify key information. Although this is a continuation of the May counting class, that class is not a prerequisite as this class consists of new material and analysis. Cost is $10. Sign up by emailing Sharon or Rob or texting Sharon.We have Counting 2 CDs from Mike Lawrence for the discount price of $25 available for purchase at the class.
