What Suit Distribution Can I Expect? |
This link from Bridge Hands shows what the probabilities one can expect for different suit distributions. This allows you to decide whether to finesse or play for a drop of an honour.
The most common saying is "Eight Ever, Nine Never" and here is a link from bridgbums on the subject.
Whilst the statistics are important they need to be considered with:
- Any bidding by the opposition.
- What have you found out about the card distribution. If you have a key finesse or drop can you find out more about the distribution in other suits first?
- Is it safe to finesse in a certain direction?
- Can you combine your chances by playing for a drop in one suit first and then finesse in another?
