Everyone loves to bid and make a slam. Of course, the opportunities to do so don't occur as often as you would like.<BR Good slam bidding is not easy. Although few experts would admit it, even the best players in the world do not shine here.
Of course, even if you bid well and get to a good slam contract, if it is not a laydown, you still have to try to find the line of play that gives you the best chance to make it. On most deals, that is easier said than done.
For each deal, Marty will explain exactly what you should think about and how you should decide the best way to proceed.
This includes:

• Little known but useful conventions
• How to get to the best slam contract
• How to have a good auction after interference
