Make a declarer plan

The declaring strategy depends on the type of the contract. We should think differently when we play an NT contract where the opponents can establish length tricks. In trump contracts, we should have control over the opponent's suits so we mainly focus on our losers in the hand with longer trumps.

  • Count winners for both sides
  • Establish length tricks
  • Identify losers in the hand with longer trumps
  • Ruff your losers first and draw trumps
