Misclicks on BBO

For those members who are playing regularly on BBO and have become frustrated with not being able to UNDO a bid or a card play please check out the article under Bridge Base Online>Misclicks. This may help you avoid making the wrong bid or playing the wrong card

SOMETHING LIGHTHEARTED!

Some more....

Remember ... A well balanced player makes up for their inadequacy in the bidding with their ineptitude in the play!

The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you wake up and get out of bed in the morning and it doesn't stop until you sit down at the bridge table

And now one for our female members-

Life with men is like bridge, you need

A Heart to love them

A Diamond to marry them

A Club to beat them

A Spade to bury them
