Bridge teaching made fun and easy!

Pavlicek MethodsPerhaps the most controversial area in bridge teaching is how to evaluate a bridge hand: point count. Richard studied this area in great depth when he began teaching. The method he devised is not only simple but amazingly accurate in giving the true value of a bridge hand. See Pavlicek Point Count for details.
The Pavlicek methods also stress the importance of accurate card play, both as declarer and defender. Bidding ideas may change over the years, but card play will always be the same. If you learn the right technique from the start, you will benefit for life. One of Richards most ardent philosophies is to plan all contracts by counting winners. See Planning the Play for an insight.
