Wednesday 27 November 2024 - Thanksgiving Evening

 We had a fine 4 table Howell movement where we all played 7 rounds of 4 boards.  And most pairs got to play each other.  Thank you for coming today. The weather was fine, and we had a grand time.  We were joined by Jim, Wolfgang, Colleen and Mark and Bob who are most welcome to this game!

Everybody did a good job.  However, there is always one couple that comes in above the others!  Today that couple was  Jill and Janet with 62.5%, followed by Paul and Suzanne with 58.33% , then  Jack and Dave with 55.95% .  Dave and Jack had a grand time showing Suzanne and Paul who was boss, when they bid 3 NT and went down 5 vulnerable! That was a bottom!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

See you in December!

 Tuesday 26 November 2024 Pupil Game and Lessons

In our advanced beginners game we discussed different ways to finesse in addition to leading to the Q when holding the AQ.  Next time (in two weeks, NO ADVANCED BEGINNERS LESSON NEXT WEEK!) we will discuss the finesse some more.  In beginners class we discussed the BIG double as an extension of the Take Out double. Next week we will have a review of recent topics, led by Suzanne Sayer, as I will be in Vegas trying to earn more Master Points.

We had six full tables in our Pupil game and Bob E pulled me along to a tie for first, at least that what he said.  Mary Lynn and Claire tied with us and Bill Swett and John Safford came in third.  I had a lot of fun today and hope you did too!!  See you in two weeks! ---Carl
