This week we look at how having a double fit or having a misfit affects our hand evaluation.

This week we look at the power of a trump fit and see how the size of that fit affects our hand’s ability to take tricks. We focus on the Law of Total Tricks - when it works and when it needs adjusting.

Just as Responder can show a fit for partner, a strong hand, and shortness with an immediate splinter bid, so can Opener when Responder bids a new suit.  

Here we examine Bergen Raises, an optional approach for using additional conventional raises (beyond Jacoby 2NT and splinter bids) at the 3-level after partner opens the bidding with 1-Major.

This week we focus on Responder's rebids and the how they must look for a fit while showing their strength and their length. 

This month we turn our focus again to finding fits.  Specifically we will discuss how to find fits in Responder's suit.  Let's start of this topic by looking the different options Opener has to Raise Responder!

We complete our discussion of Hand Evaluation with a new technique of Evaluation - Losers and Covers.   This method, called Losing Trick Count, is most commonly used when trying to evaluate our challenging distributional hands.   Let's see how it works!
