STaC week was a big success last week, and
players at the Pasadena Bridge Club did
particularly well.
Our players took first place in the district on
the morning games Monday through Thursday,
second place on Friday, and first place on
Saturday,
Here were the biggest winners from each day:
- Monday: Fredy and Lulu Minter 8.06 silver
- Tuesday: Cindy Hsiao and Sri Nagesh 9.00
silver
- Wednesday: Kim Ebner and Lynn Edelson 6.94
silver
- Thursday: Rebecca Clough and Jan Wickersham
4.88 silver
- Friday: Paul Nason and Richard Weinberger
9.38 silver
- Saturday: Patricia Luehrs and Stuart Soldate
7.96 silver
The awards for a STaC are so big because all of
the games during the same time period in the
district are combined to make a big tables
count. For instance, the Tuesday morning game
had a total of 37 tables, between us, La Fetra,
Agile, and the 750 Club. (And we all played the
same hands!)
Robert Todd March 30
Robert Todd is a "recovering" math professor,
now professional bridge player and teacher.
Robert is one of my mentors, and one of the most
engaging and entertaining speakers in the game.
I'm delighted to host Robert for a third visit
to the Pasadena Bridge Club.
His full-day seminar is on Sunday, March 30.
The morning topic is "Hand Evaluation +
Re-Evaluation," with the afternoon topic
"Compete When They Open."
The morning session will start at 9:00 AM, and
the afternoon will finish by 3:30. The cost is
$90 for the full day.
Ask around the club and you'll probably find
someone who attended one of his previous
seminars. You'll find that he comes highly
recommended! His topics are readily accessible
for new players, and full of deep bridge wisdom
for experienced players.
You can register
for the seminar at this link. See the
flier at the bridge club or download
