How To Use Bridge Base Online (BBO)

Sooo helpful.

The big problem with BBO is that very often you get booted for no reasons at all.

Been playing on BBO since COVID but yesterday couldn't get on and they said I didn't have account or BBO$ which was not true. Been trying with emails back and forth with BBO. I want to start new account with new name and password and BBO said if I did that they would transfer my BBO$ and points to new account but it's not working. Anybody have this problem?

I use to play duplicate bridge for long time, then my partner /husband pass away, 5yrs ago,I stop playing, 5 yrs, now I would like to go back I need to practice would love to play again

Do you know if there's a way to play with for match points instead of imps

Peter my rating is low how to improve

My rating is low, how to improve

how do u set up specific hands on bbo for bidding practice

We seem to get hands with 10 points. We have few chances to bed

I love BBO Its so much better the Realbridge. Sadly , for some reason, the EBU prefers Realbridge. I qualified for the EBU National Pairs Regional semi-final and we were given the choice of BBO or Realbridge. I just looked and 50 pairs chose BBO versus 23 pairs who chose Realbridge. If we qualify for the final - we will be forced to play on Realbridge.

How to use bbo for teaching bridge

I am unable to sign in. How do I fix that?

Excellent video. Had been playing using ACBLjust play bridge. This has many more options. Your information was useful in my setting up the site. Great Job!

peter - imo the card dealing algorithm on bbo ' just play 4 ' option is an absolute joke. for example i have played maybe 2000 - 3000 hands and playing south have maybe had 100 x 2club strong opener.n/e/w have never had one ! also playing South when North opens i always have a reply. never in say 300 times when north opens do I have a hand that just demands a pass. now I understand that bbo wants the players to improve but this is so far from normal card distribution as to be ludicrous.just my opinion.

How do I let them know what I play to

Is there any way I can change my real name to use a nickname? Or do I need to download a new app. Thanks.

Hi Peter do you have lessons on ACOL bridge? This what I am learning, please. Thanks

My husband and I would like to find a way to practice as partners. Can you tell me how to set that up? We are both registered on BBO.

Is there a way to see "history" when using an ipad to play? I can click on the tab on the bottom of my ipad screen, but I would like to see the history while I am playing like people can do when they are using a laptop. Help....quick!

I really like your channel. I loved the BBO hand that you did poorly one time. It gives us hope that even an expert like you can mess up once in a while.

Thanks Bill

Love your videos Peter :) I have questions. I am a newbie to Bridge and also to BBO, which I am finding quite addictive. Please would you address these questions for me in a future video or direct me to one that does... What is a Kitizer? What are IMPs? Why do my partners in BBO invariably overbid? When I see their hands I think 'what did they bid that for, when they only have....etc.?' Twice now I have been removed from the table when I was playing ok. I have no idea why I was removed. No-one said they were going to take me off, I just was whipped off, leaving me feeling hurt and annoyed? How do I know how I'm doing? As a Newbie, I want to be able to see if I am improving or not. Is there some way of finding out what my performance is? Likewise, will my skill level increase as I get better and better? Is there a way of reporting to BBO when someone is being very rude? The other day, I was playing in a group of four and one of the players was suddenly very rude in the Chat. I won't repeat what he/she said, but it was worth reporting. It wasn't directed at me but I felt sorry for the person it was directed at. We are not all professionals on BBO. I can understand how the very good players get annoyed when Newbies are slow or make the wrong bid, but they have to understand that we are trying to learn Bridge and get some practice in as well. I would not dare to go to a real Bridge Club until I was of a reasonable standard. Please explain the vulnerability issue in more depth. I didn't understand that at all? I think that's enough for now. Thank you in anticipation...

When I “chat” the typed conversation appears on bottom of screen. How can I make it audible for all 4 players to hear?

I mean when you are playing in the room you enter freely without asking

What do you mean by log back, I don't understand the meaning

Hi, what do I have to do when I loose connectivity to say reserved and come back?

How can I get full screen on my laptop?

Hi Peter, i just saw your video and you tell here that the use of BBO is free. Only if I want to start a play in robot wold they say my Saldo isn’t sufficient. I only can play solitaire- just play bridge. You only can see the finish play just after finishing, the cards are not saved. Also you can’t compare with other players. I live in the Netherlands , does that have something to do with it. I love your videos they are very helpful. Because of the lockdown I can’t visit classes so every explanation Is very welcome. Thank you for taking the effort to make the videos. Emilia
