If you need to calculate the probability of a specific layout of one or two suits given the known number of vacant spaces in each of the opponents' hands, this is a very useful little tool.  It allows great flexibility and with a little intelligent tweaking can calculate complex combinations of layouts to estimate the relative benefits of several lines of play.   The author, Richard Pavlicek, has a web site dedicated to Bridge which also has interesting hands and articles.  He is a Bridge teacher based in Florida and has extensive teaching and study materials based on Standard American bidding.

This is another very useful tool for calculating probabilities and takes a slightly different approach.  It is particularly useful in calculating layouts where there are several differently ranked cards missing in a suit e.g. Q J 4 3 2 where you need to calculate the probability of the suit being H x - H x x x for example.

Richmond Bridge Club is a friendly, well run club with an increasing membership.  The premises are recently modernised and all duplicate events are scored using Bridgemates, making the production of results immediate.

The Greenwood Centre offers services to the community and is the home of the Voluntary Care Group.   It is where we meet for Bridge on Mondays.  For a link to a map of the area see the Bridge Club page.
