He Can Still Play
For the first time in a long time I managed to convince Ray to play a game of bridge. I am not sure why he doesn’t want to play any more and maybe you can convince him. If everyone who read this sent him a little bit of encouragement it would help. Here is one of the deals from tonight. You might not love the bidding but the defense was cool.
HIs hand was
| Ray |
| ♠ AQ8 |
| ♥ J98753 |
| ♦ 8 |
| ♣ A93 |
Nobody Vulnerable
| West | Ray | East | Linda |
| 1♥ | 2♣ | ||
| Dbl | 3♣ | 5♦ | pass |
| pass | Dbl | all pass |
If you think Ray underbid just a tiny bit than you have probably guessed who overbid (a tiny bit?) Anyway I led the ♣ Q and this was dummy
| Dummy |
| ♠ KJ654 |
| ♥ 104 |
| ♦ K63 |
| ♣ J86 |
Ray won the ♣ A and from Ray’s hand it was pretty obvious what I was doing. He returned a heart and I trumped it the ♠ 10 went to the ♠ J and his ♠ Q and I ruffed another heart. As it turned out I still had the ♦ A to come. I had overcalled on:
| Linda |
| ♠ 10973 |
| ♥ — |
| ♦ A102 |
| ♣ KQ7542 |
Do you hate my bid? I didn’t want to bid 3♣ and lose the spade suit. Plus 500 was worth a bit more than 6 imps. Ray had an all round good set with good dummy play, good defense and good bidding. He put up with me too. So come on Ray you can play a bit more.

You make the mistake of connecting Ray’s choice not to play bridge with a lack of faith in his abilities… I really don’t think his skill level factored at all into the decision to quit. The real question one should be asking is: Did Ray enjoy the game when you were playing together? 😉
Yes he did enjoy the game but he was annoyed that our opponents kept leaving the table after a board or two. I told him to ignore that part.
My next question: Did he enjoy the game more than he would have enjoyed doing a couple missions in his online RPG?
That you will have to ask him.
