CONCENTRATE !
Let's just talk about an easy way to improve your game -
That means:
  • Don't let a perceived bad result hurt you. Everyone makes mistakes, but winners learn to forget them quickly.
  • Don't teach your partner (and don't be taught) at the table. Leave it outside and talk after the session is over.
  • Every hand is a separate problem. Develop a routine you go through to clear your mind as you pick up each new deal.
  • Think about the bidding. What does it tell you about each hand's strength and distribution?
  • Count HCP and distribution to form pictures, or at least candidate pictures of each hand. Hint: there are 40 HCP in the deck and 13 cards in each suit.
  • Even bad hands are important. Help partner out with signalling.
  • Do not get too happy about results. The next hand is coming up.
  • Chatting to the opponents, partner, director, cell phone, are all distractions. Let it wait until afterwards!
MOBILE PHONE
The bridge club has a new mobile phone - 0467249869. Please use this number if you need a partner or if you will be running late for bridge.
