It does not pay to be greedy at the bridge table. The player who can see a sure set generally is wise to take 1t. and not gamble for a greater one. In today's hand. which was sent to me by Robert w. Wilkes, organist of St. Peters church, New York, the folly of trying for too much is aptly illustrated.
 West felt sure that his opponents could make four hearts, and made his bid with no idea of completing his contract. He was right: in fact, North and South might even make five if the defense slipped just the least bit. Due to South's effort to make the set what he considered worthwhile, however, West wound up by making a contract on which he could have been defeated by two tricks.
