Step-by-Step Discarding

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book on an often ignored subject
Review: Inaccurate discarding costs countless on defense and often allows declarers to bring home unmakeable contracts. Learn to recognize EARLY IN THE HAND what the critical cards will be... no more throwing diamonds only to see the declarer later run the suit! Roth also gives excellent advice on discarding under pressure and minimizing the damage when you have no choice but to make a disadvantageous discard.

You will a learn a tremendous amount from this book and your defense will improve immensely, for learning how to discard requires learning how to visualize the hand. It isn't usually clear what "the right thing to do" is, but Roth shows you how to THINK about the hand and come to the best decision based on all the information available.
