"Cardinal Morton (from England) proposed below dilemma to collect taxes:
-If merchants living as a reach, they have money so they must pay taxes,
-If merchants are living as a poor, they must have savings so they must pay taxes"

You can run into such dilemma
(If you win the trick you will lose, if you don't win the trick you will also lose) many times

Nice site. It's always nice to practice things, isn't that why we keep on coming back to play more. :rolleyes:

I made a vugraph file with the 16 ways that deal has been played at the table.

I can send it via private message to whom is interested.
