Whist - Can't Bear Losing

Not even nearly enough time to work on a single project and yet can't help from starting to ponder about the next one.. In Israel there's a unique version of the card game of Whist (known even internationally as "Israeli" Whist). I played a few times, and lost them all. As a truly unbearable situation I could not stop my self from seeking a technological solution. Writing an algorithm for a good probabilistic computer player will surely do the job as doing so takes you beyond anger and emotion into analyzing the basics of the game and discovering it's mathematical nature. Rest assured, I wouldn't mind losing again having written a piece of software that is at least as good as any of my friends...
