Mike Cappelletti, who has impressive credentials both as a bridge expert and as a poker authority, believes that the enlightened solution-or "preferred view"- to many difficult bridge bidding problems can be determined by applying poker tactics such as intimidation or bluffing at the bridge table. In this book, Mike discusses one hundred classic bridge problems often recommending an exciting course of action. The reader will learn to appreciate the possibility, and in some cases, the likelihood of human error or misjudgment, and to consider deceptive bids that gamble on a miscalculation or a misguess by the opponents.

Can you learn from the errors of others? Here is a collection of problems, mostly very simple ones, that gave a variety of players, mainly intermediate players but occasionally beginners or experts, some trouble. You won't find bidding problems worthy of the Master Solvers' Club (a monthly Bridge World feature), declarer-play problems fit for "Test Your Play" (another Bridge World feature) or problems to challenge defensive maven Eddie Kantar. Instead you will find the kinds of "bread and butter" problems that arise several times a session each time you trudge to your local duplicate bridge club or travel to a sectional or regional tournament. An invaluable collection of advice for the improving player, covering all aspects of the game.
