Kathleen and I played duplicate bridge together yesterday. This was the first-ever time that Kathleen played duplicate, and only the 5th time that I play it. Kathleen had significant anxiety. At one point she opened one diamond, and I responded two hearts (this is a detail for only you bridge players). Kathleen’s reaction was to turn pink-faced and to say “oh crap.” One of the opponents said the typical response would be to suppress jumping up and down and yelling “yippee.”
Regardless, it went fine. We came in second out of 4 tables, with the pair that finished ahead of us being ones that regularly play duplicate.
