Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Great Bob Hamman/ReDeal
Q: What is the best bridge advice Hamman has ever received or given?
Think about the problem in front of you and work on that problem, focusing on the current hand and not getting bogged down by earlier hands unless the overarching situation requires it; triage information to decide what matters most in the moment.
Jazlene Ong's Got It All Going On
Q: What tips would you give to developing players?
Focus on understanding what hands partner could have, think in terms of tricks, use coaching to build a consistent system, and keep communication clear with partners to avoid misunderstandings.
Jazlene Ong's Got It All Going On
Q: What's your number one rule at the table?
Her rule is not to assume opponents will make silly mistakes; instead, she advocates mutual respect and considering how partner and opponents might actually think about a given situation.
Jazlene Ong's Got It All Going On
Q: How did you learn to play bridge, and how did your early experiences shape your approach today?
Jazlene explains learning bridge first through floating/bargain-style play in Singapore, then getting formal training in England, which exposed her to coaching and structured systems that shaped her bidding and play. She emphasizes exposure to multiple coaches and consistent practice with trusted partners.
David Berkowitz Is Rooting For You/ReDeal
Q: What is your approach to keeping a partnership harmonious at the table?
Avoid complaining or criticizing at the table, communicate after the hand, and ensure both players are rooting for each other.
