Mike Cappelletti is America's leading expert on both bridge and poker and the author of the best-selling books Cappelletti on Omaha and The Best of Cappelletti on Omaha. Since 1989, he has been the expert columnist for poker's foremost magazine, The Card Player. He is well known to bridge players because he invented a bridge bidding convention ("Cappelletti" Over No-Trump) that has become one of the most popular bidding conventions in the world.
Mike Cappelletti, who has impressive credentials both as a bridge expert and as a poker authority, believes that the enlightened solution-or "preferred view"- to many difficult bridge bidding problems can be determined by applying poker tactics such as intimidation or bluffing at the bridge table.
In this book, Mike discusses one hundred classic bridge problems often recommending an exciting course of action. The reader will learn to appreciate the possibility, and in some cases, the likelihood of human error or misjudgment, and to consider deceptive bids that gamble on a miscalculation or a misguess by the opponents.
