Below table lists all 39 possible hand patterns, their probability of occurrence, as well as the number of suit permutations for each pattern. The list is ordered according to likelihood of occurrence of the hand patterns.
If there are 4 cards in another suit (hearts) in those hands the probability of them splitting 2-2 drops from over 40% to under 35% while the hand with more vacant spaces is 5 times as likely than the other to hold 3 or 4 hearts.
Probability of Card Distribution - The priori probability of a player holding a certain card distribution based on mathematical odds. Aspiring Bridge players make mental references to the distribution when bidding or determining the best line of play, particularly the most probable line of distribution. Generally, when opponents hold an even ...
Some Useful Bridge Probabilities. By Neil H. Timm. The percentages for card division presume that there is NO evidence from bidding or play to alter the probabilities. With no information from the bidding, one may apply the following simple rules to fineness or play for the drop for the K, Q, or J.
Assessing the relative merits of a bridge contract entails two types of calculations: Combining known odds into an overall percentage chance. Analyzing both the trick-taking potential of a specific suit holding and the best way to play that suit.
Mathematics of Bridge. Probability that either partnership will have enough to bid game (>= 26 pts.) = 25.29% (about 1 in every 3.95 deals) Probability that either partnership will have enough to bid slam (>= 33 pts.) = .697% (about 1 in every 143.5 deals)
Probability is the mathematics of studying how likely an event is to occur. All experienced bridge players have a significant amount of knowledge in this field, whether they realize it or not. Let me demonstrate by asking you four quick questions: 1) Are you more likely to be dealt 14 high-card points (HCP) or 21 HCP? 2) Your partner opens 1♥ ...
