Founders Duplicate Bridge
Friday Duplicate Bridge
According to Larry Cohen, (www.Larryco.com) "the road to hell is
paved with good conventions."
The basic conventions on Larry's A list are Stayman, Jacoby Transfers,
Blackwood and Negative Doubles.
On his B list follow 4th Suit GF (game force), Methods vs opponent's
No-trump, he prefers DONT, weak jumps in competition and 2NT ask
(feature) after partner's weak 2 bid.
These are eight conventions that Larry considers the most useful.

We offer a Duplicate Bridge game that combines the superior
scoring of Duplicate Bridge but also has the friendlier and non-
aggressive attitude of home style Rubber Bridge. With Duplicate
Bridge, your true opponents are the pairs that hold the same cards
as you would rather than your opponents at the table. We are not an
ACBL game and for that, we not only offer an extremely reasonable
game price of just $2, but also give cash awards to the winners.
If you are interested, please call John Gates at (760) 295-5885, the
president of this bridge club, to see if this type of game might meet
your expectations. We are relatively small and have anywhere from
five to eight tables. The games are at 1 pm on the second, fourth, and
fifth Fridays of the month in Mykonos. You do not have to join this
club to play your first game; however, if you decide to join, the annual
dues are $6.
