Book Summary – 

Falsecards is a definitive guide to deliberately misleading plays in the card game bridge—plays that are entirely legal and strategically sound. A "falsecard" is a card played to deceive opponents about your strength, length, or suit preference. Mike Lawrence explores deceptive tactics from both defenders and declarers, showing how subtle plays—like underleading an ace, playing a small card to suggest weakness, or misrepresenting suit length—can dramatically shift the outcome. The book is packed with real-world hand examples, theories behind the deception, and practical advice that’s especially valuable for intermediate to advanced players seeking to outthink opponents at every trick 

In its revised second edition (2014), Lawrence introduces fresh material and updated strategies not found in the original publication. Chapters are organized by type of deceptive play—defensive falsecards, opening leads, declarer falsecards at Trick 1, around the trump suit, or mid‑hand—allowing readers to build a toolkit of tactical illusions. The tone is authoritative yet accessible, enriched with illustrated hands and insightful commentary to help readers elevate their decision-making with finesse and creative planning .

About the Author

Mike Lawrence (born May 28, 1940), an American bridge legend, is both a world-class player and an influential author. As an original member of the Dallas Aces, he helped lead the U.S. to Bermuda Bowl victories in 1970 and 1971, and later won again in 1987. In total, he holds 3 world titles and 18 national championships, placing him among the elite in bridge history .

After an early career shift from chemistry to full-time bridge, Lawrence became a renowned teacher and prolific writer. He’s credited with over thirty seminal books—many prized for clarity, insight, and contribution to modern bidding theory, including development of the 2/1 game-forcing system. His works, such as How to Read Your Opponent's Cards and The Complete Book on Overcalls, are considered indispensable for serious players. Falsecards stands out as a classic in its own right under his authorship
