Negative Doubles Tutorial
Learn this essential convention for competitive bidding

About This Video

In this tutorial, Reese explains the concept of negative doubles, a fundamental convention that allows you to show your major suit holdings after your partner opens and your right-hand opponent overcalls.

You'll learn when to use negative doubles, how to respond to them, and common scenarios where they're particularly effective. This convention is essential for competitive bidding and will significantly improve your partnership's ability to find 4-4 fits after interference.
