Monday Night Bridge
September 12, 2005
6:30 pm ... Lesson:  Systems On
7:00 pm ... Game: NLM (0-299)
 
We had 5 full tables last week Dick Sellers - Stanley Xenakis  were 1st N/S and Eugene Boros - Jim Wigginton were 1st E/W.  The results from the September 5th game can be reviewed on the web at  http://www.freewebs.com/hhscores/050905FE.TXT.
 
To play bridge well, it is so important to be able to define your hand to your partner.  Remember, bridge is a partnership game!  No opening bid better defines your hand than an opening bid in notrump.  Last week I started a series of lessons about and revolving around notrump opening bids.  The handout for last week Notrump Bidding Sequences can be viewed or downloaded at my website.  I will try to do a handout each week and and bring some copies to the game, as well as, post it on my web site. 
 
As a follow-up to last week's lesson, tonight's lesson is Systems On - dealing with which systems bids you should be using over Notrump Bidding Sequences.
 
In addition, each week I will try to either review a hand played in a previous game or answer a question.  Tonight I have a question about forcing bids over notrump that was brought in by Tommy Arnold.
 
There will not be a guaranteed partner for tonight's game.  I will try to sort this process out after tonight.  If you need a partner, please let me know.
 
I hope to see you tonight.
 
Remember Bridge should be fun!
