About the difference between playing bridge and playing poker

What are the differences between poker and bridge?

Let’s start with the similarities. Both poker and bridge have 52 cards in a deck, plus one or two kings. So you can play poker with bridge, and you can play bridge with poker. Generally speaking, you can play any card game with a standard deck, whether they are bridge or poker (pinac is different, of course).

The difference between bridge and poker is simply a matter of size: the poker is slightly wider than the bridge. The reason for this design is obvious when you think about how many cards you hold in your hand when playing bridge.

Before giving the standard size, we would like to remind you that the size of the playing cards will be slightly different from the known standard. If you read this data not only for interest but also intend to use it for other purposes, then you are taking a pure risk. For example, if you make a card box that is intended to hold a thousand playing cards, but find that your favorite card cannot be put in, we will not be responsible.

With that disclaimer, let’s take a look at the data.

Bridge Dimensions:

We measured one of the "Three Cheers" bridge cards produced by Congres. This card is approximately 3.5 inches tall and 2.25 inches wide.

Poker Size:

We measured an actual card used at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The card is nearly 3.5 inches tall (the same as the bridge cards, obviously) and 2.5 inches wide.

Conclusion:

Poker cards are 0.25 inches wider than bridge cards. Now that you know it, you won't stay up all night thinking about it.

By the way, most registered game playing cards, such as "Pepsi" fun playing cards, are the same size as playing cards. lt;/DIVgt;

Bridge is a way of playing cards, just like upgrade and tractor, but it tests the player’s intelligence more

Differences in playing methods

Basic gameplay of bridge

1. Partners and directions

Two people play bridge, one group versus the other, sitting in the east, south, west, and north positions respectively. The two people sitting in the south and north form one side, called north and south; the two people sitting in the east and west form one side, called east and west.

It is an ordinary 52-card playing card with the big and small kings removed. ***It is divided into four suits: clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. The four suits are divided into high and low, and are arranged in the order of the English initial letters, that is, Club is C, Diamond is D, Hearts is H, and Spades are S. Each suit has thirteen cards, in the following order: A (highest), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (lowest).

The reason for choosing a general-contract is based on the following reasons: one's own side is stronger than the enemy in a certain suit, so it can control the overall situation; one's own side does not control a certain suit, so it is impossible to make a no-contract; use If your side has a favorable card type, you can use the trump card to win the trick. When formulating a banker plan with a double contract, the following points should be considered when canceling it:

(1) How many losing tricks are there in the combined hand ***;

(2) To complete the contract, how many tricks are allowed to be lost;

(3) If the total number of tricks lost by the joint team is more than the allowed tricks, how to eliminate these extra tricks;

(4 ) If you join forces and lose tricks, the number of tricks cannot be eliminated. Is it possible to use trump tactics. For example, techniques such as cross check, dummy check, counter dummy play, and strip investment. Or use expert play (see the following sections);

(5) Whether to clear the general immediately or to make preparations before clearing the general;

(6) Whether it is necessary Avoidance, tolerance, etc.

Once a plan is made, it must be implemented with caution. At the same time, during the card playing process, if the original plan cannot be realized, make timely corrections. If there are several banker-making routes, the simpler route should be retained, and a banker-making plan should be developed that can take into account several opportunities.

The playing style of a contract with a trump is more complicated than that of a contract without a trump, especially the control of trump cards, the use of trump cards and the timing of clearing trumps, etc., which are difficult to accurately grasp. It is worth mentioning that in the game without trumps, the dealer considers how many straight tricks there are, while in the game with trumps, the dealer considers more the number of lost tricks. But this is not absolute.
