The GIST of BID WHIST on Rock Newman 2.0

In the latest installment of Rock Newman 2.0, we dive deep into the captivating world of Bid Whist alongside Lamont Jones, author of "The Gist of Bid Whist." Far from the boxing ring where he typically operates as a business attorney and executive, Jones finds his true passion in the intricate deals and strategies of this iconic card game.
Through our conversation, we uncover the rich cultural tapestry woven into the origins of Bid Whist. Jones passionately narrates the game's historic journey, shedding light on its significance within Black America. At its core, Bid Whist transcends mere entertainment; it serves as a powerful connector, bridging generations and communities through shared experiences around the card table.
One of the most compelling aspects of our discussion is the pivotal role played by Pullman porters in popularizing Bid Whist. These trailblazing individuals not only traversed the country but also carried with them the spirit of camaraderie and competition that defines the game to this day.
For Jones, Bid Whist isn't just about winning hands; it's about fostering connections and preserving cultural heritage. His belief in the game's importance fuels a mission to ensure its story reaches a wider audience.
So join us as we embark on a journey into the heart of Bid Whist, exploring its roots, its impact, and its enduring legacy within the fabric of Black America. Tune in to this episode of Rock Newman 2.0 and discover the profound cultural significance of this beloved card game.

What's the difference between whist and spades?

[@angelaholloway5321]

Whoever wins the bid can go uptown (high cards win ) or downtown ( low cards win). And they can call any suit trump, not just spades. A lot more fun.

[@felishamcneal9008]

You call what's trump. In spades, spades is always trump
