Leading by 3 matches after the pairs portion...
The pairs portion was weird because we compared against the same pair all day... the pair Bob and I had to compare against was... Fantoni/Nunes
. I was very happy to win 3 of our 5 matches given that. What I learned about them is that they bid every possible slam and play every hand correctly
Today starts the team portion, our teammates will be Jenny and Jill who have been playing great and were 4-1 yesterday so I'll be looking forward to that.
I think team USA will have an edge in the individual since Europes partnerships mainly play with each other, and our partnerships are kind of random and a lot of us have played with each other before (for instance, Grue is playing with Moss, but he has also played with this guy Cheek before, as well as me once or twice, as well as Hurd (his regular regional partner), as well as Jacobus... etc etc). So hopefully we do alright in the teams portion today and we'll be in good shape.
