Practice in Bridge is massively over rated. Unless you have a coach looking over your shoulder you tend to miss what you are doing right and wrong, you don't really learn.

Really study (that is not just read) good books instead, it'll massively improve your game.

- How to defend a Bridge - William S. Root is strongly recommended.

And even though it only is a small part of defense, certainly study

- Complete Book of Opening Leads - Easley Blackwood I'd say is mandatory.

Others could add good recommendations I guess.

Hi,

you need a partner.

There are books out there, from Kelsey and others, ..., it does not work for me,
but it may work for you, Roots book is also good, although for declarer play.


Any way, if you work on declarer play, this will help you with defence as well,
you need to count.

With kind regards
