To Bid or Not to Bid by Larry Cohen

To Bid or Not to Bid by Larry Cohen

To bid or not to bid -- the perennial dilemma in competitive auctions. The easy answer to the question lies in the correct use of the Law of Total Tricks. The LAW has been part of bridge literature since the 1950s, but it was in this book that Larry Cohen brought it to the attention of the majority of bridge players. Still the most lucid explanation of the LAW ever published, this is a book that every bridge player needs to own, to read, to re-read, and to study in order to improve their results.

Larry Cohen, a former computer programmer and options trader, was a full-time bridge professional and part-time golfer for many years. He now travels from his home base in Boca Raton, Florida, to fulfill his various teaching engagements and writes regularly for multiple periodicals, having retired from serious competition. He has won twenty national titles and two world championship medals to his credit. To Bid or Not to Bid, his iconic book, was the best-selling bridge book since Charles Goren's prime (it has since been eclipsed by 25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know).
