     One of the favorite characters in bridge literature is Victor Mollo’s Hideous Hog. The Hog loves to declare every hand and like all experts, the Hog expects to win his 50% finesses 8 or 9 times out of 10! You, too, can learn to play like the Hideous Hog and improve your odds at the bridge table.   Hospitality at 8:30 AM Lecture at 9:00 AM sharp.  Cost is $25 and all proceeds will be donated to DBC by hosts Guy and Karol Monroe.~Adapted from materials by     Audrey Grant
    .          January 26,  6:30 PM to 9:30 PM “Think Like an Expert”—Bridge Logic”
