Spades is Like Life
Spades is a social game and pits with against people that have different styles and personalities. I don’t worry about the opponents so much as I worry about having a good partner. The wrong partner can cost you the game faster than more skilled opponents or a few bad deals. It is critical to have a partner who understands the game and is willing to work with you as a team. The same principle applies to a successful marriage and a happy life.
