Polling You 55: Contract Bridge – Dangerous Opponents

Beware the Dangerous Opponent!  So what makes a Bridge opponent dangerous, anyway?  Now that’s a “tricky” question (sic).

The dangerous opponent is the player who, when on lead, can leverage their position to win extra tricks.  So is that the opponent with a long suit, the opponent who can lead into that long suit, the player with tenaces behind our broken honors, or the opponent who can lead a suit to give partner ruff/s.  Answer: yes, Yes, YES, YES-SIR!
