July/August 2015 51 Keep It Simple by Paul W Dennis

I don’t play much bridge anymore, but at one time I traveled extensively, playing with a different partner each night, often at a different club or in a different town.

There may or may not be a best , but when picking up partners, that theoretically best bidding system, whatever it may be, just simply won’t work. You may think you know Precision, , Kaplan Sheinwold or but are you sure that the person across the table has the same understanding?

What will work is a fairly simple set of agreements that you can both remember. More match points are lost by bidding misunderstandings than are ever won through use of specialized agreements, especially in a casual partnership. With that in mind I suggest the following:

1) Play whatever it is that everyone else is playing. If the local standard is transfers with Stayman, then play that. If the local system is four-suit transfers, then go with the flow. Stick with the standard 15-17 notrump, and don’t play featherweight opening bids.

2) If you have a choice of conventions pick the one that more clearly pinpoints the suits held. Meckwell or DONT may have theoretical advantages over Brozel or Cappelletti but the latter two conventions are simpler and whatever theoretical advantages Meckwell or DONT have will usually not manifest themselves over the course of a single session.

3) If you are the more experienced player (trust me, you’ll be able to tell) play the system and conventions that partner wants to play. They may not be as good as what you would normally suggest playing, but partner will be far less likely to mess up when playing within his/her “comfort zone”

4) Exception to 3) above. If a convention or treatment is suggested that you either don’t know or don’t understand, plead ignorance and don’t let yourself get talked into playing it. The first time I ever played with the late Joe Godefrin, a very good player, he thrust at me a bristling with conventions and treatments I had never played. Eventually an auction arose where it occurred to me that his call was either a red raise, Redwood or a splinter. I guessed wrong although we landed on our feet. It turns out he had forgotten to tell me about ‘the priority of conventions’ in the event such a conflict in conventions should arise!

5) Stick with standard carding - lead fourth best as everyone knows the rule of eleven, but not everyone has mastered the rule of ten or the rule of twelve

If you work days and play your bridge at night, when you are not at your most alert, the above suggestions will pay big dividends as you’ll be able to play much of the session on autopilot and save your concentration for those situations where it is most needed. 52 Sunshine Bridge News 70% Club 78.08% Evelyn Gubitosi & Barbara Mercer Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-20 75.00% Michael Cote & Peter Prezzano Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-20 75.00% Barbara & Bob Mercer Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-20 73.39% John Hoppin & Keith Manzer Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-20 73.02% Debbie Drury & Bill Poole Vero Beach Bridge Club 72.65% John Hagood & Bunny Frey Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-499 72.45% Reanette Froboock & Debbie Drury Vero Beach Bridge Club 72.43% Bill Higgins & Yaueni Siutsau Vero Beach Bridge Club 71.88% Don and Leigh MadDougall The Moorings Club 71.69% Kathryn Martinez & Polly Tindall Beginner Bridge Orlando 0-20 71.53% Rob Colton & Jeanne Colton Vero Beach Bridge Club 71.18% David Seares & Richard Robinson Wickham Park Bridge Club 71.00% June Brotto & Ruth Einaig Orange Blossom Bridge Club 70.63% Thayer Baine & Lindsay Eakin Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-299 70.33% Ann & Robert Cooney Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-20 70.24% Bill Poole % Susan Mayo Vero Beach Bridge Club 70.08% Pat Forsdick & Gingr Winkler Vero Beach Bridge Club 70.00% Shirley Powers & Preston Straa Vero Beach Bridge Club 0-20

Keith Gellman [email protected]

President With our next regional and sectional already scheduled Keith Gellman for 12/14-12/20/15 and 2/5-2/7/16, all’s quiet on the eastern front Vice President (Unit 243). I want to use this space to explain how we schedule Marsha German tournaments. Secretary & Treasurer First, your unit has to find dates that do not conflict with other Peggy Muschett nearby tournaments. For the sake of continuity, contracts are 954-772-6686 signed several years in advance to be sure the space is available when it is needed. Unit Liaison to SBN Dwayne Hoffman Sectionals (for silver points) are typically smaller and thus dwayne.hoffman@ usually held at community centers or lodges. Sites for outlook.com Regionals (for gold and/or red points) are based mostly on last Comptroller year’s table count. Joyce Klein 954-722-1340 Second, your unit has to find “worthy” venues. Venues vary considerably based on expected table count. As the largest Board Of Directors regional in the country, Gatlinburg rents out its convention Keith Gellman center. Most other Regionals rent out ballroom space from Marsha German hotels. Harvey Hoffenberg Dwayne Hoffman Lastly, the need to change sites (venue is too small, or is in bad Peter Jargowsky shape, or its necessary to move to accommodate other units) Carmela Knauer creates havoc for your unit’s planners and the ACBL. Peggy Muschett Margery Pecoraro For too small, the ACBL has to “certify” a new hotel that they Bill Rauld think can hold the increased turn-out. If the new venue clicks, Marty Robins Hallelujah! If it doesn’t, your unit’s planners are at work again Jean Spector negotiating for a new playing site, provided we’re not locked Barbara Tate in. James Walker Eugenia Weaver I hope this helps you appreciate a very small part of what your Tournament Coordinator unit does to find the “best possible” venue, let alone host a and Webmaster tournament.

July/August 2015 57 Remembering Rhoda The Fort Lauderdale Bridge Club mourns the loss of its longtime manager, Rhoda Schreider. For over 20 years, Rhoda was the heart and soul of the Fort Lauderdale Bridge Club. She helped transform a small bridge club into one of the best in the nation. She daily brought her love of entertaining and cooking into the club, welcoming all and providing a second home replete with holiday meals. Rhoda with her daughter Suzie preparing Christmas Dinner (2003) Always mindful of those less fortunate, her own birthday celebration became an annual charitable food drive at the bridge club. Every year we donated hundreds of pounds of food in her name.

During her time as Club Manager (1988- 2008), the Club was among the top ten in table count and in 2002 won the Jane Johnson Club of the Year Award. She enforced Zero Tolerance and was quick to move beginner players out of the “small” room and into the open game, like it or not.

She was very pleasant to all the bridge players and hosted many holiday and charity events. Rhoda with Ernie Moore (2005) Every weekend you could find her at the club preparing her fabulous Saturday supper and brunch on Sundays.

On June 7th, the club hosted a tribute to her life with a free brunch for those who brought in canned goods for the local food bank. Over 100 people came to remember Rhoda and how she made the Fort Lauderdale Bridge Club a happier place to play bridge.

Rhoda with Al Levin, celebrating his 100th birthday (2009)
