jackI've definitely got better. Better at bidding, seeing more situations as standard. Better at defense. Better at knowing partners and guessing what they're thinking. Better at forming a plan and then playing it out (which counting is a corollorary of). Better at keeping score. I definitely need more practice at making shaky two levels contracts, and playing quickly, though.
And I played with a partner used to loose ACOL and did ok, though I'm still at sea with people who have exact and prerequisites for bids different to mine.
I was pleased to be able to double on saturday, I think for the first time ever. Sorry to declarer, who wasn't to know I had AKJ10x of trumps, but I think it illustrates why I don't believe in giving points for trump honour holdings. By that rule, that would be a 100pt bonus. By doubling 4 down from 200pts to 800pts you get a 600pt bonus.
