NOVICES TIP 595

      

           When adding up your points when you get your hand try and think in terms of permutations  AKQJ always makes 10 a KQ always makes 5 and AKQ always makes 9 so try and spot these permutations and you will add up the hand that much more quickly

  

 

INTERMEDIATES TIP 595

         Partner overcalls and you have 14 points balanced ONLY INVITE 2NT in case partner has a bare 8 points.

 

ADVANCED TIP  595

        If you play out a suit and an honour   or even and 8 or 9 appears then the adjacent card  is twice as likely to be in the other hand according  to The Theory of Restricted choice

         so with                          A K 5

                                10 7                      J 4 3 2

                                                  Q 9 8 6

       Play off the AK and when the 10 appears no longer play for the suit to be hopefully 33 but now play East for missing Jack and finesse as you have seen the 10 appear- now the Jack is twice as likely to be with East.
