Bridge is a very complex game and even the very best players are still learning. Don't be discouraged and you will find a game of same level players to join once you have the very basics down.

I used to play a lot and had several masterpoints. However I have not played for 40 years so I am back to beginner bridge as well. Once I get there, I to will be looking for a group to start over playing again.
12idehd: Master points that impressive. Bridge is very difficult and I enjoyed playing it but once you stop the "law of disuse" comes into play and well you simply forget. I played a lot of double deck pinochle and that game is no where near the difficulty of bridge
