JOHNNY'S REVEALS HIS SECRET TO WINNING BRIDGE.......
After yet another successful evening at duplicate bridge , Johnny was almost embarrassed with his 74% score. So good was his scorecard , he had managed to notch up 16 tops and 8 averages. Everyone marvelled at his ability to conjure tricks up from nowhere , but it was one hand in particular which had generated a great deal of interest and discussion.
The consensus of opinion was that the slam was so difficult to make ,  that even with all the cards on view , still no one could figure out the winning line to make 12 tricks.
Johnny , of course , had no problem  even at the table in steering the contract home , and this was against  opponents  who knew how to defend. Eventually, one puzzled member approached Johnny to find out how he managed to achieve the impossible, and what his secret was to winning bridge.
His reply was short and to the point :  " table presence.....a complex transfer squeeze......and always knowing what card to play next in order to maximise your chances of success   ".
Well, I think that answered his questions......
