To Bid or Not to Bid Book

In bridge, it's critical not to sell out to the opponents to cheaply--to make them compete to a level where they feel uncomfortable. The only way to do this, however, is to bid at higher levels yourself, sometimes setting yourself up for a substantial penalty. In To Bid or Not to Bid, bridge master Larry Cohen outlines rules to allow the player to determine whether to take the chance and push higher, pass quietly, or pull out a damaging penalty double. With dozens of examples from top-flight tournament play, Cohen lets us see where following the "Law" paid off... and where failing to follow it resulted in big problems, sometimes including the loss of championships. This book is relatively easy to read--it's suitable for just about anyone who plays duplicate bridge.
