00:38:58	Lynn Chapin:	When you have a large hand, and a long suit, 
                you make what looks like a takeout double.  But then when you 
                ignore partner's answer and bid your own suit anyway, it shows
                "the big double" -- a nice suit and 18 plus points.
00:39:20	Lynn Chapin:	Choose the master hand -- which is usually the 
                hand that has the most trumps.

                To eliminate losers by ruffing, you will only GAIN tricks for 
                your contract if you are able to ruff in the SHORT side of the 
                trumps.  Yes, you can ruff with the long trumps, but those are 
                usually yours anyway.  You won't often GAIN a trick by ruffing 
                in the hand with the long trumps.
00:39:34	Lynn Chapin:	Here are the hands for tonight's lesson :)
01:00:33	Lynn Chapin:	In a suit contract, the PLAN starts with counting
                your losers-- BEFORE you play to trick #1 .  If you have too many
                losers to make your contract, you need to find ways to eliminate 
                the losers.  

                Identify the need and fill it 🙂
                A successful plan!
01:01:52	linda :	How do you pick good hand when it’s 4 trumps in each hand
01:05:10	Lynn Chapin:	Count losers from the position of your hand, and 
                take it from there. ;)

                You will want to set up your side suit if you have one.  Declaring 
                in a suit contract is often about your side suit!
01:06:55	Sanya Almeida:	why not open this BD7 with 1NT?
01:17:05	Lynn Chapin:	The QC will fall if you ruff the third club, and the
                JC would set up for a pitch.  That might help you make it.
01:21:51	Lynn Chapin:	Go to the Widget that we built just for you!
