Who on this bitch plays bridge?

playing no trump is always a challenge. i dunno, it takes a certain awareness of where cards are likely to be to successfully finesse. and keeping track of how to get back and forth between your hand and the borad. a lot of it is just ~memory~

but yeah it's the bidding that separates the women from the girls

I am ridiculously good at most games and tend to master new ones quickly. The problem is: I'm no fun to play with. My friends warn each other not to play me in Scrabble because it's too humiliating. After my bf taught me a card game called Big Two and after two hands I started roundly trouncing him, and he got angry at me, I decided that it'd probably be worthwhile to try and learn Bridge because a. we can play on the same team, and b. I've heard it's really difficult and complicated? and might be fun

But pretty much immediately it became clear that it's far too complicated for him, and maybe for me also. I have spent the last few nights playing Bridge Trainer before bed and feeling insane about how poor my play is. All the methods I had at securing wins in Hearts and Spades and 9-5-2 and so on-- completely useless. I think I might hate this game
