"The person who knows, goes!"

"Don't bid the same hand twice."

"Some say bridge is a game that reveals the depths of human stupidity."

Always Thank Your Partner...regardless of how dumb you think the dummy is. (Remember: sitting across from you is the only person in the room who is on your side!"

The Golden Rules of Bridge: Trust Your Partner; Don't Lie to Your Partner; Don't Try to Save Your Partner!

Bridge: the ultimate game for social introverts!

"Don't worry about Overtricks until you have secured the contract!"

"Strong players integrate what they see in their hand with what the auction has told them."
