single best thing.


Recommended Posts

Best thing? How much visualization and counting experts really do.

 

I've also learned to read everything Fred says twice. He always seems to stress the partnership game, which trumps a lot of the "expert" advice that is sometimes doled out.

 

I've also learned that I should have started playing duplicate 10 or even 15 years ago. B)

Personally I do a lot more visualising and counting when answering a forum post than I do when actually playing. Though of course I'm not an expert, except in the inflated terminology of online bridge.

Like Fluffy I've been around here for a very long time. One of the most useful (which comes up frequently) things I've learned is to play takeout doubles after intervention over our 1NT openings. Hand evaluation has improved as well, although not only because of the forums.

 

General knowledge I've accuired: don't post any line of thought when you're tired/drunk/working because some people expect you have all the time in the world to think stuff through.

Wow interesting thread.

 

Its hard to pick any one thing because nearly all of the ideas I read about from better players than myself have a substantial impact on my views about bridge. I suppose some of the key things I have changed over the years are:

 

- don't be afraid to make a TO double on a flat 13;

- open 1 a lot at MPs;

- bidding 4 over 4 can be right in many ways but only wrong in a few ways

 

I have certainly become more aggressive as a result of reading the fora. I'd like to think my card play has kept up as well B)

What is the single best thing that you have learned on these forums?
I used to think that I made about two mistakes per board. BBO has taught me that I make more. And I'm not alone. Now I hope that BBO will help me to make fewer.
