Five Tips to Card Combinations

This is a dynamic Bridge Guide that will improve your declarer play. You'll see how to effectively use Declarer's Plan; how to combine chances on Declarer's Checklist to increase the odds; to look for card combinations that provide more than a 50% chance; to know when to lead a high card instead of leading toward a high card; and when to watch out for the opponents.
