The only card game I know so far is <a href="http://www.ronklingerbridge.com" rel="nofollow"> how to play bridge contract card game</a> introduced to me by my grand parents. But I'd really like to try other games for a change and I wonder if this applies to other card games. It'll be great if ever. Keep on posting interesting stuff, more power to your blog.entoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168151250925763807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686476804358206995.post-58158717593794261722009-11-27T18:42:15.191-08:002009-11-27T18:42:15.191-08:00Thank you for this column.

I learned bridge by osmosis - kibitzing at the tables of good players. <br /><br />I grew up in a bridge household, breakfast talk between my parents was an analysis of the hands of the night before. My parents were one of the few married couples that always played together at the tournaments, many couples could not deal with the tension. They were perfect match for each other - my father mathematical and cautious, my mother reading people and pushing the hand. <br /><br />I to ran into bridge at UVic in the SUB, but by the early 1980s it was rare. The bridge crowd at the tournaments has remained a generation or more older than me.<br /><br />My hope has been that the craze for Texas Hold'em Poker would spur an interest in Bridge as a game.Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951619465188564252noreply@blogger.com
