DAILY BRIDGE CLUB:
“I know that old advice about having patience,” Unlucky Louie told me in the club lounge. “‘Things may get worse before they get better.’ But whoever said that was assuming things have to get better.”
Louie ascribes his bad results to bad luck, despite all the evidence. Declaring at today’s five hearts, Louie ruffed the first spade and drew trumps with the A-K. He took the ace of clubs and led a second club ... and East discarded.
That was bad, but when Louie took his king and led a diamond to dummy’s jack, things got worse. East took the queen and ace, and West got the queen of clubs. Down one.
