When we play
on-line we “Self-Alert” our bids… unlike at the table, where our partner will
hear our Alerts, Announcements, and explanations, this information is available
ONLY TO OUR OPPONENTS. This removes the
likelihood that Unauthorized Information has been passed between us and our
partner.
Our friend,
John Early of Lansdale, Pennsylvania, has put together an 11-minute video of
how to perform Self-Alerts, together with some other very good habits to adopt
when playing on BBO. Please watch John’s
video; it will make your on-line playing experience much better.
