I use GIB. (Ginsberg Intelligent Bridge) I havent had it very long but it does play a good standard. I always have it on my laptop when I travel. It plays the cards better than it bids like all bridge software. I bought it over the net straight from their website.

hmmm, kinda similar to the question which ball hangs lower

so the question is which hand do you hold you ball in?

Depends if i'm playing tennis or cricket

Well, I love playing cards. Canasta, Romme, ... ans especially "Doppelkopf" (4 player) and "Skat" !!!

I have no idea if "Skat" is known to you (?). It's a 3-player game with 32 cards; but w/ a group of 4, you play w/ an alternating dealer, as a single round is done fast. I've been playing since I was a kid and in those days, the dealer used to spy the cards of a participant. Dealer:"May I have a look?" - So a bunch of cards changed hands... and that fucking spleen was born. I noticed that I had to re-sort my cards when someone spied them - as said, I'm in the minor (?) lefty group, right hander btw. I guess it's one of those phenomena you can't get rid of when you got in contact with in childhood - like women's front armaments...

I can't really say why I want to know - but it's just interesting.
For that individual sorting order, I guess it's something about learning behaviour. Or coincidence w/ ball hanging style, tennis or cricket affection, card values in corners... maybe the way you open a door (I could spam another poll...). Think I'll read psychology stuff about learning behaviour some time. If that's unsatisfying, I'll read about spleens...
