three PLAYERS at the table. Such
woman never remembers II .'lead - aod
usually bridges from "frght, >" instead
of strength or weakness and has to be
told when to play. IL surely Is real
torture for the other three who as ii
! rule sit calmly back and excuse her bad
plays. outwardly at least. and console
her by saving. .'Of course. it docsn t
