Okay, it’s time to pivot away from Notrump contacts and tackle leads when the opponents are in a suit contract – enter the world of trumps! Regardless, either way we are still pondering whether the “CIA” (Counting, Inferences and Analysis) calls for an Active or a Passive lead. So let’s try our hand playing Bridge hands at BridgeHands…

Part 1 – 10 illustrative bidding scenarios to practice our leads – 37 minutes

Part 2 – Hands 1-3 and multiple bidding and play scenarios – 27 minutes

Part 4 – Hands 4-5 with more bidding and play scenarios – 27 minutes

Part 4 – Hands 6-7 with more bidding and play scenarios – 31 minutes

As always, we here at BridgeHands have Bridge hands complete with narration and animated card play for everyone (regardless of who is the declarer and defender). Our emphasis is to get inside the minds of the “Big Why,” the rationale behind everyone’s bid or play, including an analysis on hand evaluation, bidding and animated card play.  

As a Premium and ULTRA member, you are welcome to enjoy the entire three-part lesson segments with lots of hands, plus an opportunity to view future shows during your membership subscription period.   And as always, be sure to check out the hundreds of hours of videos in our archive that is growing by leaps and bounds, by clicking “Index to Videos” on the navigation above or simply click this link.

Part 1 – Hands 1-2, 43 minutes
Part 2, Hand 3-5, 30 minutes
Part 3, Hands 6-7, 35 minutes
