Book Overview: Cue-Bidding to Slams covers a vital area generally neglected in bridge literature. It deals with the principals and methods used in standard cue-bidding to enable first- and second-round controls to be located. A sound approach to hand valuation is included and will allow the partnership to find slams based on good fit and avoid slams which are a poor risk. Guide-lines are supplied to help with the vexed question of when to cue-bid and when simply to ask for aces. Written in a clear and easy-to-follow style, with plentiful examples, the book will provide a partnership with the basis for competent and successful slam-bidding, which will lead not only to consistently better results but also to more satisfaction and enjoyment.
