Bridge Umoristic (1)

1) It's not enough to win the tricks that belong to you, try also for some that belong to the opponents.  Alfred Sheinwold 
Nu e suficient sa castigi levatele care ti se cuvin, incearca sa iei  si cateva din cele care apartin adversarilor;

2) The real test of a bridge player isn't in keeping out of trouble, but in escaping once he's in.  Alfred Sheinwold 
Adevaratul test al jucatorului de bridge nu este a sta in afara belelelor, ci in a scapa odata ce ai ajuns acolo;

3) One advantage of bad bidding is that you get practice at playing atrocious contracts. Alfred Sheinwold 
Unul din avantajele licitatiilor gresite este acela de a capata experienta in jocul contractelor atroce;

4) Years ago there were only two acceptable reasons for not leading partner's suit: (1) having no cards in the suit; (2) sudden death.  Alfred Sheinwold 
Inante erau doar doua motive aceptabile pentru a nu ataca culoarea partenerului: (1) nu aveai carti in acea culoare; (2) moartea subita;

5) "Where's the hand you held during the auction?"   - Jan Nanitschke when he saw the dummy.
„Unde e mana pe care o aveai in timpul licitatiei?” – ia zis Jan Nanitsche partenerului cand a vazut mortul;

6) South: Alert!  East:  Yes?  I'm requested to further misdescribe my hand.
Sud: Alerta! Est: Da? Mi se cere sa continui descrierea gresita a mainii mele;

7) It's not the handling of difficult hands that makes the winning player. There aren't enough of them. It's the ability to avoid messing up the easy ones. Alan Sontag
Nu manevrarea mainilor dificile decide invingatorul. Nu sunt suficient de multe. Abilitatea de a evita erorile pe cele usoare este esentiala;

8) The sum of all technical knowledge cannot make a master bridge player. Ely Culbertson. 
Suma tuturor cunostintelor tehnice nu face un jucator expert;

9) The difference between genius and stupidity at the bridge table is that genius has its limits.
Diferenta intre geniu si prostie la masa de joc e aceea ca geniul are limite;

10) Learn from the mistake of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself. Alfred Sheinwold.  
Invata din greselile altora. Nu vei trei suficient ca sa le faci tu singur pe toate;

11) I favor light opening bids. When you're my age, you're never sure that the bidding will get back around to you in time. Oswald Jacoby at 77. 
Sunt in favoarea deschiderilor slabe. Cand esti de varsta mea, nu esti niciodata sigur ca licitatia va reveni la tine la timp - Oswald Jacoby la 77 de ani;

12) The real secret of the expert is to make logic seem like flair. H. W. Kelsey .
Adevaratul secret al expertului este sa faca ca logica sa para inspiratie;

13) If I did everything right, I wouldn't be playing with you. 
Daca as fi facut totul cum trebuia, nu as fi jucat cu tine;

14) Regardless of what sadistic impulses we may harbor, winning bridge means helping partner avoid mistakes. Frank Stewart   
Indiferent de ce impulsuri sadice ne pot paste uneori, bridge-ul castigator inseamna a-ti ajuta partenerul in a evita greselile;

15) When I take a 50-50 chance, I expect it to come off 8 or 9 times out of 10. The Hideous Hog.
Eu cand joc la o sansa de 50%, ma astept  sa iasa de 8 sau 9 ori din 10 - Porcul Hidos.
