Rate my partner

Mark P - my question is this: How did your partner respond to you when you "discussed" these plays with her? Did she realize her mistakes or did she argue and try to defend her calls...so I am interested in how she responded to you when you told her she was wrong...

She was not very receptive. Those of you who have had the privilege, pleasure and honor of working with me () know that I always discuss calls with a partner in a non-confrontational and non-embarrassing manner. Usually, I say something like this at a break, "Say, on that (whatever) call, I thought I saw (whatever). What did you see?"

I think there were hidden reasons she resented any comments but I will not go into them here.
