andych Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Do u think playing frequent count or infreq count is winning strategy when defending? Assume vs good players.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I am totally convinced frequent count is a loser vs good opps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I agree that it's a bad idea vs good competition, but I think it's good to play for a while in your bridge life anyway. With one partner for a long time we played only count, no attitude at all. It sounds kind of silly but it really gets you to work through hands you might have otherwise been lazy on, as well as teaching you to think about defensive problems in a different way. I'm quite sure it helped me a lot to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
