Can anyone recommend a good book on playing the cards?  I got bitten
by the bridge bug a few months ago and have been avidly playing since.
The last few weeks my partner and I have been 'taught a lesson' at a
local duplicate bridge center, i.e. last place... but we'll get our
revenge.  I also would be interested in any comments on duplicate strategy
as opposed to rubber strategy.  Last night my partner and I decided to 
take risks on just about every board, the result being a few top boards 
and a bunch of bottoms, but not much in between.  How do you judge which
hands are good for risk-taking and which should be played close to the
vest?  

Lets hear it from all you card fiends out there!
