"The defining factor in the progress of a bridge player is the ability to use and grasp one tool: the cuebid."
Four lessons presented weekly in June. Watch via replay or join live Mondays at 2:30, NY time/7:30pm, UK time.
This quote comes directly from Dee Berry, author of Cuebids in a Nutshell. While we establish fundamental bidding competency through common conventions like Stayman and Jacoby Transfers, the biggest leap you will take as a growing player is through the cuebid.
Due to their artificial nature, cuebids may seem daunting, but are surprisingly easy to comprehend and use. Perhaps you have never made a cuebid before, or perhaps you have tried a few of them but felt uncertain about whether you were using them properly. Either way, this class series is for you!
Join Curt for a set of lessons designed to make you comfortable with the most common cuebids and grow your bidding capability exponentially in the process.
Lesson 1: Cuebids by the responder after an opening bid and an overcall by the opponents. We will talk about the forcing nature of the cuebid being invitational at the lower end but unlimited on the upper end and promising support for the opener's suit.
Lesson 2: Cuebids by the advancer to an overcall. We'll look at similar types of auctions from the side that overcalled after the opponents open the bidding; we will also address the meaning of the jump cuebid by advancer.
Lesson 3: Cuebids in response to a takeout double and as a replacement for Stayman when there is interference over our 1NT opening.
Lesson 4: Cuebids as probes for 3NT and by the opener to show certain types of strong hands, often hands with a long minor suit that are too good for a jump rebid of the minor.
