Bridge Theories

Law of Total Tricks (by Larry Cohen)

 

The total number of cards in opponents' suit and your partnership's suit =

The number of tricks you will make playing in your suit +

The number of tricks your opponent will make playing in their suit

 

Eg. If your opponents have 8 card fit in hearts and you have 9 card fit in spades,

 

the number of tricks your opponent will make playing in hearts + 

the number of tricks you will make playing in spades is 17

 

That means

if you make 10 playing in spades, opponent will make 7 playing in hearts,

if you make 9 playing in spades, opponent will make 8 playing in hearts and so on...

 

 

So how do we use this law? To be continued...
