Table Talk: How to Read the Opponents' Bids

The "Over-Bid" Scenario

If the table bids total 14 or 15 (out of 13 available books), the game becomes defensive. Someone is going to get "set."

If an opponent bids "The Board" (minimum bid) and looks hesitant, they likely have a "bust" hand. Play aggressively to set their partner.
