Let's take some time to dig into takeout doubles in detail, including responding to (advancing) your partner's double, and doubler's next actions. We'll look at edge cases where you can use a double (or perhaps shouldn't!). And as with all of our classes, it comes with great hands to practice declaring and defending. * Six Thursday evenings, 7:00-9:00 PM, starting April 4. * $115 includes textbook by Audrey Grant * Full description and lesson plan <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/course/iyj_doubles> * Click here to reserve your seat <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/contact/course_enrollment> Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction Take it for your first time, or revisit again! There's no better class for learning or reviewing the fundamentals of bridge. We start with the play of the hand. After working out how tricks can be won by declarer, we study hands to discover HOW HIGH and WHERE a hand should be played, and learn the language of Standard American bidding to reach the best contract. Only a handful of seats remain!
