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!

(59) Hand Evaluation II: Double Fits and Misfits
(58) Hand Evaluation II: Size of Trump Fits
After an active July where we worked on Hand Evaluation (primarily focusing on HCP and re-evaluation) we are continuing our Hand Evaluation discussion in August. But this month we are moving in a different direction. The goal for this month is to help us understand the value of fit (trumps) and how it help us produce tricks!

(56) Hand Evaluation I: Counting Points 3 - When the Opponents Bid
