Hi, my name is John McAllister. I have spent the past six years playing bridge all around the world. My goal is to win a world championship. Doing so requires getting into the minds of the world’s best players.
I can not think of a better, more fun way to do so, than to interview great bridge players and share their insights in podcast format.
Episode 1 – Gavin Wolpert
Gavin is a top professional bridge player who has represented both the United States and Canada in international competition. He is also the founder of brdgewinners.com a fantastic resource for learning and discussing the game.
In this wide ranging discussion Gavin talks about psychology at the table, including not underestimating your opponents, conserving energy, great plays and overcoming mistakes. We also cover how he changes his strategy when the situation dictates and how he generally plays to avoid making errors. Thank you Gavin for sharing so generously of your time and being our first guest.
