[Cover Photo] Middle Limit Holdem Poker
Bob Ciaffone and Jim Brier
If you want to learn by looking over the shoulder of an expert as he plays hundreds of tricky hands, this is the book for you. Every chapter is full of examples drawn from real play. Organized by hand type and street; a whole chapter just on how to play overcards on the flop, for instance. No pretty pictures or fancy charts in this book -- just solid advice cover to cover!
Slightly shopworn. Cover shows wear, all pages are in excellent condition. A bargain. Regular retail price $25.00.

Swiss Team Tactics
Harold Feldheim
A detailed look at how Swiss Teams strategy differs from longer knockout teams matches and from pairs play. Special sections on how to cope with exceptionally weak or strong opponents.
This is a very underrated book, very readable, and the bidding and delcaring advice is excellent in general even if you don't play Swisses particularly often.

A very popular item. Out of stock as of 28 May 05 and a difficult book to find. If I can find a supplier I will get as many of them in as I can!
$10.95
By special order only


[Cover Photo] The Modern Losing Trick Count
Ron Klinger
List price $20!
If you are ready to look beyond the high-card point and refine your bidding judgment, this is the book for you. One of the great books on hand evaluation.
The Losing Trick Count is a simple yet surprisingly accurate hand evaluation method, known in the 1930s but temporarily forgotten in the enthusiasm for point count bidding in the 40s and 50s. It has several advantages over HCP: it accounts naturally for the importance of having fitting rather than scattered honors; and because it forces you to think about counting tricks rather than points, it makes adjustments to the raw count simple -- instead of memorizing rules like subtracting a point for an unguarded face card, you simply count a card that the bidding tells you is unlikely to win a trick as a loser and vice versa!

[Cover Photo] Easy Guide to Defensive Signals
Julian Pottage
How to choose which spot card to play, and how to tell what your partner's signals mean, broken down situation by situation: signals on partner's lead, signals on opponent's lead, discards, and so on. Many suit layouts and example hands; quiz and summary at the end of each chapter.
New. Slightly shopworn cover. Retail price $16.95.

Blocking, Unblocking, and Safety Plays
Terence Reese and Roger Trezel
A collection of hands where suit combinations need to be played in nonstandard ways to achieve the best result, and advice on how to recognize the common situations. From the simple (when it is right to lead high from Qxx/Kxx for instance) to the very obscure.
Out of print. Once my last copy goes it is gone!
