Hi,I am interested in online learning for bridge. My play is not terrible, but I can't get my head around the bidding when it goes beyond a simple open and response. Can you give me more information regarding cost, time, etc.? Thanks, Vanya Martin vanya.d.martin@gmail.com

The best way to learn to play is by playing ... but unfortunately, I keep ending up on tables that I am not ready for. I've done all the practices, and my playing is pretty good ... but my bidding is horrible. I have a sheet I use, but it only covers the opening and first response. I get lost after that and have frequently passed when we get to game, when we should have been at a small slam. Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks everyone for the information ... the link provided in this post helped me understand how it works by providing examples as well as explanations for anyone with similar confusion! Thanks Pilowsky! Vanya

I am obviously missing something. I will open 1NT and my partner will bid 2-4 diamonds. I assume they have a pre-empt, but when we play the game ... they have very few diamonds? Can someone explain? Also, if it does mean something else ... how do you tell the difference between it and a pre-empt bid? Thanks in advance, Vanya
