Play Bridge with Mike Lawrence

The two Play With Mike are fun books. They take you through a day of bridge in a regional tournament. You get more than bridge in these books. You get to meet some of the characters that exist in the bridge world.

In Play Bridge with Mike Lawrence, you play with my mythical partner, Alex, in a pairs tournament. Most of the hands are true. In one of them, Alex and I bid to seven notrump doubled, off two aces and a slew of other important cards. How did it happen?

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.
