{"product_id":"ynm-bidding-basics-workbook-9781771401685","title":"Ynm: Bidding Basics Workbook","description":"\u003cp\u003eAre you tired of learning\/teaching bridge from a cookbook? Tired of memorizing how many points you need to bid this or that? Do you have trouble determining if you have a minimum, medium or maximum hand and what you are supposed to do if it fits in a particular category? Then \u003cem\u003eYes, No or Maybe\u003c\/em\u003e is what you need. This is a series of three textbooks and companion workbooks for beginning bridge students.\u003cbr\u003e This workbook accompanies the second textbook, \u003cem\u003eBidding Basics\u003c\/em\u003e, which introduces the student to bidding, including opening bids at the one-level with responses and rebids, overcalls and takeout doubles with advances and rebids, the use of cuebids by responder and advancer, and the practical application of the Law of Total Tricks.\u003cbr\u003e Once an opening bid has been made, responder and opener rely primarily on their answers to the basic questions to guide their bidding decisions. Their initial answers are usually 'Maybe.' But, as the bidding progresses, the answers are resolved into 'Yes' or 'No' and these answers govern the subsequent bidding. Of course, they must also have certain rules to follow regarding the number of cards shown with their bids as well as a few priorities for resolving bidding options. The same logical process is used for intervener and advancer after an overcall or takeout double.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI only wish that such a book had existed when I was starting out.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Barbara Seagram\u003cbr\u003e Author of \u003cem\u003e25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10874486\"\u003eDavid Glandorf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Master Point Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771401685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771401680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-GAM\"\u003eGames \u0026amp; Activities\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-GAM002010\"\u003eCard Games | Bridge\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Master Point Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44706438709485,"sku":"9781771401685","price":13.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_a93f599e-22f1-476e-9386-9f1470c0443f.jpg?v=1703954190","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/ynm-bidding-basics-workbook-9781771401685","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
