After the bidding the play of the hand begins. The person playing the hand (Declarer) should pause after the opening lead lands on the table. Declarer should consider how many tricks are needed to make the contract, then count sure winners and develop a strategy before playing the first card. Strategies for winning additional tricks include: finessing, running long suits, ruffing losers in dummy and good memory. Please note, that the play of the hand in a suit contract is different than in a No Trump contract. The last hour of the session will allow for open play.
Purpose: Learn how to evaluate hands and play accordingly
