Hi, am in Los Angeles, and it would be great to find a regular partner. Ideally somebody who doesn't crucify their partner for every mistake , and has a warm, outgoing personality. An Intermediate player whose CC is near SAYC would be perfect. Or a good player, quick-to-learn, but not yet playing SAYC or some of the conventions.

I'm flexible in my hours of availability.

Played bridge for many years in clubs and tournaments in the 90s, but fell off the wagon. I've been practicing, relearning SAYC, and playing BBO with pick-up partners, but would prefer to find a regular partner for tournaments etc. I haven't had the chance to play some of the conventions I've relearned yet (e.g. Michaels, Roman Key Card Blackwood etc.), so am a little rusty there, but will learn again fast. My bidding is pretty good - common sense, and my play of the cards as declarer is fine; less accomplished in defense. I'd like to improve, and am open to adding new conventions too.

It would be even better if I could find somebody to play with at local bridge clubs.

Thanks, Keith Adams
