Sorry, Partner

American champion Steve Weinstein joins us to talk about learning to enjoy the wins, the family that is the bridge community, and the pleasure of holding real cards. Plus, he shares his top tip for developing players. But first, we kibitz! And some BONUS AUDIO this week for our Patreon subscribers.

Steve and his partner, Bobby Levin, might love each other like brothers but that doesn't mean they always see eye to eye. They published one of their famous postmortems (from a while ago) on Bridge Winners.

Also, Steve loves Flannery (he's serious)--or maybe not so much.
