Customer Reviews

worth it, a very good read...

This is not a book for bridge snobs. Luft does not pretend to be a great player. But he is a pretty good bidding theorist. He's an average player and his audience is other average players who hope to get better. His general suggestions about aggressive bidding are in tune with Marty Bergen, Larry Cohen, etc. Luft has a light, friendly, conversational style. Some of his claims are hard to swallow, but he knows that, and is frank about it. Some of his stories are hilarious. His tips for wannabe experts are worth taking seriously, whether you play weak NT or not. This is a very entertaining book. You don't have to believe what Luft says about bridge to enjoy it. I especially like the book's emphasis on trusting and respecting your partner. Luft comes out very strongly against masterminding auctions. I think he would be a fun guy to play with.
