Synopsis

Most bridge players realize early on that counting out the hand is an important part of improving their card play, both on offense and on defense. However, it's one thing to know that and quite another to be able to apply the knowledge at the table! In this book, the authors explain in simple terms the techniques that experts use to count suits, high cards, and distribution around the table. Then they discuss how, as declarer or defender, you can use the knowledge you have obtained from counting to take more tricks! Finally, they teach the reader how to prevent the opponents from getting an accurate count on their own hand.
