Anyone who thinks that bridge is a simple game is a simpleton! We must learn all about bidding, declarer play and defense. We must learn a wide variety of plays on offense and defense, know the odds, know our opponents' tendencies (when possible) and understand a myriad of other items critical to success at the table.
Oddly enough, however, expert players also know when to ignore the "odds on" plays and bids. This Wednesday, John Koch explains the details.
By the way - I am entering John's hand while working at the Buffett Cup in Omaha. Two days of play remain.
If you want to watch the best of the best - then tune into Bridge Base and watch vugraph throughout the day!
(And yes; that is our own Joe Grue here at the Buffett Cup in the photo above. If you want a player who senses when to follow his instincts, then Joe is your man!
This is a very nice site! Thank you for all those responsible in putting it up and maintaining it.
