Queries, Quips and Quotes

 If opener rebids their minor suit does it promise six cards in that suit?  

 

NO!  A rebid of opener's minor suit only promises five cards in that minor.

 

The idea that this suit should be six cards is based on the premise that if partner has only five cards in his minor..that he will have a balanced hand and should therefore be bidding NT at some level.

 

In the cases where opener has a singleton, he may be forced to rebid a minor suit with only five cards or otherwise mislead responder on the strength of his hand.

 

If opener is balanced and has a five card minor he should rebid NT.  If unbalanced, opener may rebid a five card minor suit.

 Tate on Gaurd

 

Well it turns out my hand was broken from my tumble.  I think Tate must have know it even before I did.  On our trips to the dog park since my accident Tate spends his entire visit at my side.  If I walk...he's at my side.  If I sit....he's at my feet.  He won't leave me and won't let another dog get within three feet of me.  He won't even chase squirrels!.  Here is a picture taken by me with my phone camera...Tate On Guard.

 

Summer Bridge at the Family Life Center (FLC) continues until August 24th so there is still plenty of playing time left!  Bridge is available Mondays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and/or Wednesdays from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. 

 

This class and supervised play opportunity is a great way to keep learning all summer and hone your skills so you can dazzle them this Fall with how good you have become:)  Check it out!

  

I have two openings for Fall private classes the 1st & 3rd Thursdays from noon to 2:00 p.m. and 2nd & 4th Tuesdays from 9:300 to 11:00.  If any of my existing classes would like to move their classes or know of anyone looking for classes, please let me know.

 

My website is Patty Tucker Home if you'd like to see the schedule of the classes at Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church's Family Life Center.  My fall classes will be up around mid-August.  Classes are available for beginning, intermediate and advanced players.  I'd love to see you!
