How To Evaluate A Bridge Hand

In this lesson I discuss how to rate a bridge from counting high card points through to the finer details of hand visualization.

Fantastic Peter, this is gold, you have just explained to me something that I have assumed but never really delved into and that is AK is worth more and QJ is worth less. Love your videos. Keep them coming. I think this is the best of your videos so far, but I do love watching your play in general. Cheers mate!

Pete what is your opinion on the Losing Trick Count after you have found a fit? Do you use it ?

[@BridgeWithPete]

Not a fan, I feel like it is a lazy less effective way of doing hand visualization

[@brinasegal8659]

Pete ,I love your channel. I like how you analyze the hands and the thought processes behind the play. One minor issue: The music that plays in the intro. It is sappy and annoying. Can you tone it down or change it? Thanks.

If you're bidding NT, doesn't that make a 4333 shape better?

[@pupasani]

Nope, length is good in NT as well so you can establish and cash tricks in your long suit!

How to play competitive bridge

[@BridgeWithPete]

Do you mean in person or online? I want create an account on Bridge base online by and then there is a section called competitive. You could also create an account on intobridge.com or funbridge.com or in person I would search for your local bridge club.

I find he is good, but since I do not get to see the opponent’s hands, it is very hard to understand.. too much talking, without too many examples of other cards on the table. I like instructions with all hands open. Otherwise it makes no sense to me.

I believe you are misunderstanding the purpose of this 26 minute video. We must give you a downvote.
