5.0 out of 5 starsPoints Schmoints
By Kenny on 1 Jan. 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
An all time classic in Bridge literature. Your are not a student of the game unless you have read it. At the same time it is suitable for a very wide range of players from beginner to well up the advanced scale. Easy to read.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother good book from Marty Bergen
By Angelaswlondon on 31 Aug. 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I'm a Marty Bergen fan. This is another great book, bought on the strength of his book on Doubling. A definite plus for anyone wanting to improve their judgment.

3.0 out of 5 starsEnough already
By TimmyP on 13 May 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
There are lots of common, simple situations covered in this book. Quite good instruction for the average club player - none of the examples are too hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book - already a classic 4 April 2001
By Prasad Upasani - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Hardcover
This is the perfect book for players who more-or-less have the basics in place. This will correct your misconceptions and raise your game a couple of levels. The first half of the book is all about bidding, and rather than just talking about basic bidding, tells you what to do in those tough borderline situations. A great example is his "Rule of 20", used to decide whether to open the bidding or not: If the sum of your HCP and the number of cards in your two longest suits is 20 or more, open with your normal 1-level bid; else pass. Very effective, and much better (and easier) than counting short-points, long-points, or quick tricks, since this takes into account the ENTIRE distribution. The second half of the book is about declarer play and defence, and is equally good. What distinguishes this book from the rest is that the author doesn't waste space on the basics, and instead concentrates on the intermediate-to-advanced stuff.
Another selling point of this book is Bergen's great sense of humor. Peppered through the book are short anecdotes of actual hands played by him, his friends or students. Most of them are very funny. One gets the sense that Marty was "saving up" his experiences for this book, and has put all his best stuff on paper here. None of his other books come close to the standard set by this book for content or organization, though "More Points Schmoints" tries hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bridge book I've ever read. 20 Feb. 2011
By Singinman - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
If you have been playing bridge for a year or a decade and want to improve the bottom line on your Bridge score sheets, this is the book for you. Marty Bergen makes the point over and over again that points alone will not give you a proper evaluation of your hand for offense or defense and he does it with humor and confidence. Each principle is presented clearly and succinctly. Of course, to benefit from these principles you have to be willing to think and play outside the box.
