This book aims to help average and aspiring players to bid a few more of those slams. Unlike many other books on bidding, this book does not provide a system or set of gadgets. Instead, it looks at a number of tournament events and develops a set of thirty key ideas that will work with any system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost all the slams in this book are skinny slams, with far fewer than the recommended number of points. But these slams have not been specially selected. Not at all. We include all the slams that occurred in the competitions presented. Instead of points we propose some slam hand templates and introduce ideas such as the thirty-point deck. Bidding and making tight slams is a match-winning strategy. This book will help its readers along the path to more makeable slams and a lot more bidding fun along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Bossomaier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771401923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771401920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Master Point Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Terry Bossomaier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069196824831,"sku":"9781771401920","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c073207a-a1ba-420a-8cb0-96cf203dc14d.jpg?v=1685423360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/getting-to-good-slams-terry-bossomaier-9781771401920","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
