We're
really enjoying iBridge Plus (iPad App). You
can play any number of hands with yourself or create
a challenge, set a winner$' pot, and play against the
world. Very fun! And especially handy for people who
might only have time for 8 or 10 hands. The interface
is bold and simple. The graphics are nicely done. Check
it out here.

Canadian Poker Sites. Both poker and
bridge are card games that use a style of play that
demands a routine, and both card games involve probabilities.
However, in bridge you must play your cards the right
way to win. When playing poker
in Canada, it's important to routinely fold bad
hands, or risk becoming a losing player.
Have
you been to The Bridge Museum? Bridge has been
played more than 100 years. It is derived from the Whist,
a card game involving the number of strokes made. Trump
is the color of the last dealt card. In the Netherlands,
1 million people play bridge while 110,000 are members
of a club. That is 5 times as much as the total population
of Leerdam, the place where the Bridge Museum is located.
