American/Polish champion Cathy Baldysz joins us to discuss the Polish bridge community, her thoughts on playing with the Objectivity Team, and her enjoyment of Polish bridge lingo. Plus, she shares her top tip for developing players. But first, we kibitz!

Cathy mentions this book by Danny Roth:

Don't Be Fooled! Countering Deception at Bridge

How to play ‘Carrot in the Box’

Wingspan board game

Some of Cathy's favorite Polish bridge expressions and slang:

• Czapa = hat (when a contract is cold)
• Noga = leg (said after someone goes down one in a contract)
• Rolować = roll something over (when you go down in a contract you should have made)
• Trzy buły = 3 bread rolls (3NT)
• Klient = client (derogatory reference to someone you think plays badly)
• Jeleń = deer (derogatory reference to someone you think plays badly)
• Cymbał = cymbal (like in a band) (derogatory reference to someone you think plays badly)
