I think you fold when you're playing poker. Bridge you concede all tricks, usually the opposition has already claimed all the tricks first.
I'm not playing today tho. Bridge partnerships are really the main thing in the game and I am very politely dodging one. Interestingly I recognised the core of our difficulties in being interactive was that she wasn't being herself.
I don't know whether it's so much that there isn't a place for rationality as that it is lost under a lot of lies being protected.
It's been a great conversation hasn't it.
