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...
