This Week in Bridge Practice Hands

Hand Evaluation: Counting Points - After Partner Bids
(set 2 of 8)

Before the auction begins, we evaluate our hand with HCP and adjustments (length point upgrades and short honor downgrades). After this, when we hear partner bid, we need to make use of this information to re-evaluate our hand. We upgrade for "fits and fitting honors" and downgrade for "misfits". Let's take a look at some examples of how this can affect our subsequent bidding.
