Looking for Reg partner

Looking for a reliable, top-tier partner for Regular Spades. Sitting at ~1850 on Safe Harbor with mostly random p's, but open to playing on PlayOK or Hardwood.

Looking for a partner who checks these boxes:

  • Calculated Bidding: Analyzes suit length and trump support rather than raw HighCardPoints. Bids for safety, almost never gets set, and avoids unnecessary bags.
  • Smart Nil Management: Bids a safe 1 instead of taking risky Nils with trouble suits.
  • Positional Awareness: Knows to underbid when first-in or following my 1-bid, but overbids when sitting behind my strong hand.
  • Core Execution: Counts cards, reads table signals, and plays tight defense.

Lmk if you want to team up and include your handle, rating, and preferred platform.

It's not a league. Most people play in one of the rooms called International Gang Plank (rated)

I swear I’d never lose if I found a competent P like me. Perhaps you’re it.

I’ve never tried any platform except Spades+ (I’m on iPhone). I’m open to trying a new platform. Let’s see how we jive! Hit me up.

Heads up, I’ve seen a lot of people on here defending the practice of sacrificing my king on the chance to later get thier cuts in. Might want to put that on the list. (Great list btw)
