Learn to Practice – Bidding Conventions

Learn to Practice
Bidding Conventions
Volume #2

If you’re currently taking my Basic Conventions course or want to review those conventions, this software is a big favorite. The conventions included in the Volume #2 CD are:

  • Stayman
  • Jacoby Transfers
  • Weak 2’s
  • Blackwood
  • Takeout Doubles
  • Preempts
  • Strong 2C Openers

I strongly urge you to get this program to brush up on these basic bidding treatments. NOTE: This software is purely for bidding practice. You do not get to play the hand after the bidding. But it does give you a lesson at the beginning of each topic and allows lots of bidding practice which is very important.

Price: $29.95 + 5 S&H

Learn to Practice
Bidding Conventions
Volume #3

If you’ve taken any of my advanced convention courses, this software is a big favorite. The conventions included in the Volume #3 CD are:

  • Unusual 2NT
  • Michaels
  • Splinters
  • Limit Major Raises
  • Forcing 1NT
  • Jacoby 2NT
  • Negative Doubles

NOTE: This software is purely for bidding practice. You do not get to play the hand after the bidding. But it does give you a lesson at the beginning of each topic and allows lots of bidding practice which is very important.
