The road to improvement By Brent Manley Before we get into one more useful bidding agreement, here are a couple of tips for improving your game. Read – I was a voracious reader of bridge books when I started out and I credit a lot of that study with helping me recognize situations the first time they came up at the table. My favorite authors are Eddie Kantar and Mike Lawrence. Any book by either is more than worth the price. Mike’s “How to Read Your Opponents’ Cards” was the book that opened my eyes. Get this book! Watch the experts – You can kibitz at tournaments like this one. Even better, you can watch matches with commentary by logging into the vugraph at Bridge Base Online. At home at your club, ask the better players for advice.
