  I imagine it's dependent on age. I don't think so. Poker is very popular now among all age groups. Bridge is not very popular among anyone except maybe senior citizens. I've played a lot of both and there is no comparison - 2 completely different games. I think bridge is much more consistent with hacker-like thinking. (Maybe I'll say why in another post some day.) I'd love to give it a try. Then do it! If you have a hacker mind, i.e., you like puzzles, logic, and problem solving, and even want to take it a step higher by building your own "framework" to attack those problems, you'll probably love it. But beware, you may end up like me, a bridge fanatic without a partner because no one else plays much these days. If you ever want to give it a try, contact me off-line and maybe we can play on-line sometime.
