We had a
partnership misunderstanding. My partner assumed I knew what I
was doing.
Your play was
much better today, and so were your excuses.
We play forcing
hesitations.
Why is it that experts
avoid
the use of Blackwood, and novices use Blackwood with a
void?
My partner is a
well-balanced player. He makes up for his inadequacy in
the bidding with his ineptitude in the play.
Too bad, partner,
that was an unlucky grand slam — the ace of trumps was
offside.
There are
three
kinds of bridge players: (1) Those who can count, and (2) those
who can't.
Be an expert!
Never take a finesse to make your contract when you can go down
on a squeeze play.
It was not a
play error, it was a play concept error.
If I did everything right, I wouldn't be playing
with you!
Bridge is a
great comfort in your old age. It also helps you get there
faster.
South: "Alert!"
East: "Yes?" South: "I'm requested to further misdescribe my
hand."
The difference
between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.
Card sense is
when it's technically right to do something, the little man
that sits on my shoulder or anyone else's shoulder says,
"Don't do that." And you say to yourself, "Well, wait a
minute, that's the right way to play." And he says, "Yeah,
but you don't wanna play that way." That instinct is card
sense. It's almost an ability to feel where the cards are.
It's something that you can't buy, you can't find; you're
born with. The ability to do the right thing at the wrong
time or really to do the wrong thing at the right time.
I'd like a
review of the bidding with all the original inflections. |
