Hand evaluation -- the foundation of solid Bridge bidding and prerequisite to successfully making your contract during play. Early in our career we are taught the value of High Card Points beginning with the 4-3-2-1 approach that focuses on one's honor holding. In time we learn the value of long suits, useful to develop extra tricks through promotion plays.

In this lesson we will build on the basics of hand evaluation, taking a look at "The Law of Total Tricks" and working our way up to the benefits of Losing Trick Count hand evaluation.
