Do you remember the first few times you played bridge? To get you started, a friend probably gave you a few helpful hints. There are many such general guidelines for bridge players -- some of them valuable, some not. But these are the Bridge Myths, not the Bridge Rules -- because they all have exceptions and none should be followed blindly. In reading this book you will get to see what it is about each guideline that makes it so useful; more importantly, you will also learn to recognise the times when you should ignore it.

4.0 out of 5 stars
debunks beginner rules,
By Victoria H. (Jackson, WY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 25 Bridge Myths Exposed (Paperback)
This is a nice series of books. This one is aimed toward play, and works at debunking a lot of the rules we learned as beginners:
second hand low eight ever nine never never give a ruff and sluff win as cheaply as possible etc. The book doesn't suggest that these rules are bad, but rather that they are not solid gold. Sometimes second hand might do better playing high. Sometimes you want to finesse for the queen even though you have nine of the suit. The book offers examples where the "myths" work and where they don't and considers what one might think about in analyzing and planning one's play. For this reason, the book can be a useful addition to one's bridge library.
