Opening Leads

Ever make a bad lead? One quarter of the hands you play will feature an opening lead by you. The material in this book covers all of the standard lead considerations plus many that have never seen print. When should you lead an ace against a suit contract? Should you ever underlead an ace against a suit contract? Is leading from a king an awful thing to do? What do you lead when you have three little cards in the suit? Is it always best to lead through dummy’s suit? Can it ever be right to lead a suit that declarer has bid? Do you know when to lead trumps? Is a singleton always a good lead against a suit contract? The answers to these questions and hundreds more are in this book. And at the end of it, there is a comprehensive lead quiz to pull it all together. The material in this book will make you a much better player.

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.

JOHN SMITH

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.
