YOU ARE BRIDGE!



You are brilliant, shrewd and ruthless at the table!

You can intuit unerringly the motives and intent of your opponent from their initial bids.

You can smell a grand slam as soon as the cards are dispersed.

Your favorite opening bid? "Two No-Trump!"

You have endless patience – you know instinctively when to finesse and when not to. You play low in second place and high in third. You cross-ruff like a daemon. You end-run with the best of them. You always know when to execute a safety play. Blackwood and Fishbein are your semblables.

Most importantly, your bid is always honest – when you're dummy and your partner thanks you after you lay your hand down, he has no cause to regret it!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Now THAT is a BRIDGE!!
