You Still Alive?

You are if you took that deal.  Clearest thinking, por favor.

Given abilities approximately equal (you’re as good as they are, they’re as good as you are) one

Partner knowing 26 of his side’s cards will not lose

To two partners, each knowing 23, 24, even 25 of their side’s cards.

The more you know the more you win.

And that is the essence of The Modest Club.

It seems so simple, so straightforward, it’s

Impossible not to get it.  But many do not.  Even, incredibly, at the “Expert” level.

You can try this.  Round up a threesome and

Have one hand spread for all to see.

Find out what happens.

When you take this idea to a club game, a sectional, a regional, a national, a Bermuda Bowl, it will happen there, too.  Unless others are playing

The system.

You’re playing for your life.

Your opponents –who are just as good as you are- propose this option:

“We’d all like to see your partner’s cards.  Can you just put them face up on the table and we’ll

start from there?”

Do you take that deal?  Or not?

Remember, this is for you life.
