Once upon a time, when I was playing bridge five or six days a week, it was a bad month if I didn't pile up at least 15 master points. Now I'm lucky to play twice a week and the rewards have dried up so much that 5.63 points in April feels like manna from heaven. It more than doubles my total for the year so far.
But no luck juicing up my monthly master point total
even more on Wednesday at the Bridge Centre of Niagara in St. Catharines, Ont.
Partner Rod Sumner and I wound up dead last East-West.
I kicked myself more than once over Aces I failed to cash and leads I should have made to Rod, but now that I’m reviewing the hand records, it would have taken much more than those to reach the winners' circle. In fact, if we hadn't broken out of our funk with a stellar final round, we'd be truly wretched – four percentage points below our eventual 40.74%.
