Very new to the game, love Andrew Robson's videos but..... in that first NT1 bid, both hands (first bid and responder) had an Ace and 5 of spades in their hand...
@@dorothymcelduff1460 There are quite a few pairs who play strong NT in the UK, but the national standard system (Acol) has a 12-14 1NT opener (weak no trump)
Who moved my cheese? There is sometimes a different way to do it. There are no absolute rules. NT12-14 works pretty well, and Andrew Robson - who knows quite a lot about playing and teaching bridge - recommends it.
I think in Great Britain that's what they are used to! In the Netherlands where I live we also play it as 15-17 but don't be surprised if you come across opponents who play a weak NT. The thing I find curious is the fact they don't use Jacoby transfers.
@@BEstudent This is an introductory lesson and so Andrew has kept it simple. A lot of players in the UK play Benjaminised Acol which is a 12-14 point 1NT with all the usual bells and whistles of Jacoby transfers, weak 2s (usually just the majors), RKCB etc. ,

Great observation.
Wouldn't you be better off just playing the MMMMajor Bridge Bidding System (www.mmmmajor.org)?
He looks like Ethan from LOST in the thumbnail.
It should be 2d transfer to hearts and after that 3nt and partner will chose if 3nt or 4h
I doubt he has covered transfers or Stayman at this point.
Weak no trump shows 12 to 14 points. Used in UK and a lot by Duplicate players because it is so pre-emptive
is this true in the UK

@@manudude02 And its bad bridge. Its a crappy system. We have advanced from that.
Joey Salt Why do you think you have advanced from a weak no trump?

1 No-Trump signifies 15 to 17 points and a balanced hand, not 12 to 14 points.
That is a matter of partnership agreement. As long as you disclose the strength of the NT opening to your opponents, there is nothing wrong

1nt means 15 to 17 pts why do you say it is a weak no trump with 12 pts

@@BEstudent It's a lesson for beginners: no artificial bids!
There is a "strong 1NT" in Acol, so when partner bids 1NT you are required to announce how many points you anticipate.
