stacykoca Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I am still a beginner- I have just playing bridge a couple of weeks. I have been playing with the three robots and doing pretty well. I am a little slow to bid, but I feel I am doing it correctly-at a beginners level anyway. At what point might I be ready to play other beginners online? Any type of milestones or suggestions are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacykoca Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 OK I'll give it a go. Thanks for your response. BTW- I grew up in NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Play now. You have a ways to go but so what. Agree. Play now. And don't take anything tragical. A bad hand is not the end of the world, even if some of your partners might seem to think so :) Maybe start in the Relaxed Bridge Club, instead of Main Bridge Club - but it does not really matter where you play. It would help to state your level in profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Welcome to Bridge and the BBO Forums Stacy. Don't be afraid, go ahead and look for any game. You can announce to table you're still new when you join a new table, and players are bound to be more understanding of that. Ask any questions you may have please. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Isn't there a beginner/intermediate club or lounge? Would that be a good place to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Welcome to BBO. I think you're ready to play as soon as you feel comfortable. Definitely let people know you're new, they're usually quite understanding. This is a great game, and though sometimes people get frustrated...it's still just a game. I'd also like to point out to one of my favorite parts of BBO: the vugraphs. You get to watch great players and have commentary from other great players (and you can ask them questions too!) It's been a great resource for me to look at them play a hand and think, "wow, that's a great way to play a hand...maybe I'll remember it when I play next time." I never do, but hopefully it'll sink in eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yes, just start playing now, you are probably already better than most "experts" :) However, if you play with random partners and opponents you will need thick skin as not everyone show their best social skills when they are on the internet. So you will need to grow a network of "friends". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as all of the above but more like helen_t's But you most likely will meet players who will give out Bad Comments You MUST ignore them but above all ENJOY your Bridge Try BIL they have Mentors in that Club contact Maureen Hallway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi Stacy, the BIL is a good palce to start and is located under 'private clubs'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
