How to Read Your Opponents' Cards: The Bridge Experts' Way to Locate Missing High Cards

by Mike Lawrence

Overview

World champion Mike Lawrence teaches you the critical skill of card location in contract bridge: how to determine which cards your opponents are holding based on what they did or didn’t bid and what they've led or haven't led. Learn to spot and interpret clues from the opening bid on. He tells you what a bridge player should think about, why, and how. Each chapter explains a principle and gives examples. All chapters but the last, which is about reading subtle tells and signs from your opponents, have a quiz section to help you practice techniques. Applying Mike’s expert logic as each card is played will point you to the likely location of the remaining unplayed cards. If you follow his tips and concentrate on counting, distribution and applying deductive reasoning, your bridge game will greatly improve.
