How to Read Your Opponents Cards

When you play a hand, what information do you have to help you? For instance, you have the KJ4 in dummy and the 83 in your hand. You need one trick in this suit and can not afford to lose two. Should you lead to the king or the jack? This book shows you how to find and use information to help you with decisions like this one. Many of the themes in the software ‘Counting at Bridge’ come from this book. “A classic.”

Mike Lawrence doesn’t teach rules to memorize; he schools his reader in beneficial habits and patterns of thought. After reading this book (repeatedly, gaining added benefit each time), my opponents began to think we were playing bridge with glass cards.

Mike Lawrence must be a direct descendant of Sherlock Holmes! He uses every scrap of information available on any particular hand/auction, and uses these to arrive at the best bid to make. And it is because of this attention to detail that this (and his other books) are intended for those players in the intermediate or advanced category.

One of the five best bridge books to be shipwrecked with – Mike’s comprehensive work on Overcalls actually transcends the subject and gets near to the inner essence of bridge,

Lawrence gives insight into his own considerations when making bidding decisions and makes it clear that many decisions are not absolute. But following the logic and type of arguments he presents you will get more and more decisions right. I strongly recommend his books to every bridge player who aspires to improve his or her game.
