Hi all...

With any luck, the next 4 months are going to afford me some serious time to work on bridge in the evening. I'd like to spend some time during lunch, etc honing my skills (or lack thereof) as well.

One of the things that I think would be helpful, given my learning style, would be to use the HANDS search tool to get download some sample hands bid/played by some solid players.

So, my question is:
Does anyone have a suggestion re: one or two really solid players/pairs on BBO who bid a relatively simple system (SAYC, ACOL, etc) that I should go out and research?

I know tons of solid players who I can look at for cardplay/defense... But most of them bid 'systematically' way above my head. And I'm keenly aware that my bidding is the weakest part of my game. Being able to look at some hands and follow through someone else's logic of why and what to bid will be really helpful.

Thanks in advance, Brian (aka heavydluxe)

You could look for the Cayne matches that are played on Sundays. There are some pairs in the match with more complex agreements but for example very natural bidders are Geir Helgemo (ghelgemo) - Tor Helness (helstokk).
