COMBINATION & DISTRIBUTION PROBABILITY TABLES
from Theodore Triandaphyllopoulos
(Greek and English) Most bridge books assume that these tables are
known, but this is not always the case. What's more, the point to
which these odds change when some of the opponents' cards are known,
is not clear. This site analyses any given set of missing cards,
considering the number of known cards in any of the opponents' hand,
and produces a table you can use to evaluate a way of playing. New
Feature: "this calculator now has the ability of finding the
combined breakÜprobabilityÜof two or three suits." (Dec 02)
