	Augie Boehm

	Roman Keycard Blackwood: The Final Word
	Eddie Kantar
	The fifth and (he says) final edition of Eddie Kantar's famous book on Roman Keycard Blackwood. Go beyond "5 clubs shows 0 or 3." This book covers every facet of RKC: how do you ask for the queen of trumps after a 5C or 5D response? Should you show the number of kings or specific kings? 0314 or 1430? When, if ever, does RKC not apply? What suit is trump in ambiguous auctions? Excellent resource for serious partnerships wanting to milk the most out of their ace-asking.

More distributional information, though sometimes less high-card information, than standard leads.
