Class No. 1 – Wednesday, April 1

Leading Against Notrump Contracts – Not your mother’s same ole leads!

Please don’t tell me you are going to lead fourth from your longest and strongest suit. Defending against notrump contracts is a race. Who can establish their tricks first? What if the opponents have bid your longest suit? What if your longest suit is scrawny? What if you do not have any defensive entries into your hand? What if partner bid? What if partner had the opportunity to bid or double and didn’t? There are many considerations to choosing the right lead.

At the conclusion of this class participants should know:
  1. How to evaluate your hand.
  2. How to evaluate the auction.
  3. How to determine the best defensive strategy.
  4. How to choose the best suit to lead against a notrump contract.
  5. How to choose the right card to lead once you’ve chosen the suit.
