Master the Art of Matchpoints: Stop Settling for « Making Your Contract »
Are you tired of making your contract but still scoring 30-40% on the board? In his very first Masterclass on Funbridge, bridge expert Gavin Wolpert reveals a hard truth about matchpoints: if you are playing safe, you are likely losing. Wolpert says that in order to improve your results you need to stop focusing on just « making » the hand and start hunting for every possible trick – even if it means living dangerously.
This Masterclass introduces Gavin’s favorite strategy he calls Free Cheese. A bidding discipline that secures plus scores by avoiding « touch and go » 25-point games. Wolpert also breaks down Vulnerability , discussing when to play aggressively and when to retreat. You will learn why going down non-vulnerable can actually be a path to a top score, and how to mathematically justify risky lines of play to grind out critical overtricks.
In this Masterclass, you’ll learn the Winning Formula:
- Stay Low: Why staying out of close games is often better than inviting.
- Calculated Aggression: How to leverage vulnerability to your advantage.
- The Overtrick Mindset: Why you must be willing to risk the contract.
Ready to stop giving away matchpoints? Join Gavin Wolpert on Funbridge and learn the mindset shift that separates the winners from the rest of the field.
