I Fought The Law

Author: Mike Lawrence

Are you tired of using the Law of Total Tricks . . . and wondering why there are often one or two tricks more or less than predicted? This book shows why this is so.

• --Take the case where there are sixteen trumps. There will be exactly sixteen tricks only 44% of the time.
• --Without distribution, ten trumps will not ensure safety at the four level.
• --Would you rather know how many tricks your side has or how many tricks both sides have in total?
• --Don't waste your time counting trumps. There are more important things to keep track of.

  Anders Wirgren and Mike Lawrence show a method of evaluating your hand that brings judgment back to bidding and which will result in more accurate bidding.
