Publisher's Synopsis
The Losing Trick Count is a way of measuring the trick-taking potential of a trump contract without the need to count points. The LTC enables you to calculate the playing-strength, the tricks, in your own hand and to estimate accurately the useful tricks in partner's hand. Put these two figures together and you have the trick-taking capacity of the two hands. Used correctly as recommended, the LTC is a vastly superior valuation technique for accurate bidding.
