How To Play Card Combinations

You are in four hearts with A432 in your hand opposite the KJ86 in dummy.

How do you play the trump suit?

You won’t believe the number of ways that exist. This book looks at common card combinations and shows you how circumstances cause you to change your play from one hand to the next. On a given hand, it might be right to play the ace and then finesse. On another layout, the correct play may be to play the ace and king, refusing the finesse.

As you will see, very few things about this game are absolute. How to Play Card Combinations shows you when to zig and when to zag in situations which are not as routine as they may appear.

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.

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.
