Bridge lessons & videos with Curt Soloff: learnbridgeonline.com/curt-so...
Why is it that once we start playing random hands on our own, everything feels more complicated than how it seemed in the bridge lessons? Real-life hands just feel messier! Join us as we play two random hands from a BBO weekly challenge. Curt helps us apply the thinking we've been practicing in our lessons to two messy hands that each present an interesting and murky conundrum. Can we find clarity?
In the first board, we have a horrible lack of a fit between declarer and dummy's hands. Missing six trumps in 2♥, can we figure out where the heart queen is? And how the heck can we get back to Dummy to try to get a few more winners to make our contract?
In the second board, we have have to make a difficult choice: should we just grab our sure winners early and go down 1 to avoid going down worse, or should we risk it to make our contract even though if they attack our weak suit, we'll be toast. What would you do?

The play on this hand was LUCKY! Very, very lucky.

@mandycreed1190 Месяц назад

Thanks Bajir & Curt - this was really interesting and I would definitely like to see more of these videos showing hands being played by the experts

@amehoela6708 2 месяца назад

Please, please do more of these! I love the way you talk through the hand, the bidding and the play. I love your conversation. You’re both great to listen to. Thanks for doing this for is.

@dkinrys 2 месяца назад

I enjoyed hearing Curt and Bajir talk these hands through, unscripted. Made for some informative-- and compelling-- viewing!

@kadust1 2 месяца назад

Really enjoy your videos! I’m fairly new at the game. What does M? Stand for and what are the percentages for? Are they a rating of sorts? Thanks!

@Zhenwei-ku8vw 2 месяца назад

@@kadust1 Well I think the Mps stands for match points and the percentage stands for how many people you win with your score on average. like in the first game, they play better than 53% of people who play the same board

Loved it, little bit long-winded, but certainly let's do more of these.

@d.basile1018 2 месяца назад

I would have been tempted to take the 8 sure winners and hope another trick fell out. Thanks for the encouragement to always try to make the contract.

This is good...

@Solarion-pf2ze 2 месяца назад

even if you set up a club winner, there's no entry, it's best to hope for the spades as it's the only chance to make it and costs nothing the only case where club is better is if west gets endplayed having only spades and clubs and this is even more unlikely than the ace hearts being onside.

I love at 24:39 curt is doing the waving of the hand - lol - I do the same thing.

@conwaycat5112 2 месяца назад

On the first hand, why not play the Q♦️Ayer winning the A♥️ to be able to trump there and maybe draw the Ace to set up the K in dummy?

@d95mback 2 месяца назад

East discarding a spade seems strange. My theory is that the robots "know" that you can finesse the spade, and don't take into account that you won't.
