Technique and how do you get it!

[Laura Ginnan]

Pete’s going to discuss this on Monday’s talk back session but it will be great to see El and Nick’s input as well.

Here’s what a BV member wondered.

One of the things that separate the expert players from the rest is their ability to recognise a situation and know the solution.
Trumps break bad? they have trump reduction or trump coup
short of a trick? they fall back on end plays and squeezes.

So how do us mere mortals learn these things and not only that put them into the game.

[Mark Hangartner]

yes, i agree there is the technique …. I have to reduce my trumps to the same number as the defender ready for a throw in …. but perhaps harder the ability to recognise a situation during the bidding that suits may be breaking badly… eg the bidding seems to die quite low may mean one of the defenders has a good hand with lots of trumps.
