It is necessary to value the high cards in the hand to be able to arrive at the proper bid, so for use in bidding no trumps we value them as follows: Ace, 4; King, 3; Queen, 2; Jack, 1, and two 10s count 1. An original bid is the first bid made, and may be made by dealer, by second hand after dealer has passed, by deal- er's partner after t: fourth hand after Lh:;: pumm i Regardless of the position at the table in which it is made, & bid of one no trump calls for three suits safely L and no worthless singleton. t seems appropriate to explain here what is meant by stops in suits. A suit is stopped when headed by the Aoce; by.mu King and one or two others; Queelh-Jack and one other; Queen and three others: Jack-10 and two others, and the Jack and four others; that is. when the bidder holds such cards in it that he can take at least one trick in that suit if it be opened by the initial leader. In other words, he is insured against ha his adversaries open up and running t particular suit. The count given for dealer's bid of one no trump is 13, which means that the high card count of the hand should be 13, with three suits safely stopped, and that mh‘t‘o‘“d ma‘hwnumg n. { uluntnmm bid: e ades—A, J. 7. temonds, & J: 8 3. A At This dealer’s hand, and it is easily seen that three suits are safely sf 3 ess singleton. In counting this hand the Ace of Spades counts 4 and (e Jack 1, making 5 for Spades; the King of Hearts counts 3, and 10-spot of Hearts com- bined with the 10-spot of Clubs counts 1: the Queen of Diamonds counts 2, and the Jack 1; and the Jack of Clubs counts 1, making a total of 13, which is the requirement for dealer’s bid of one no trump. The amount given for the one no trump bid, of 13, is the minimum on which dealer should bid one no trump, but often we get hands which are over the minimum, but not strong enough to bid two. When this is the case dealer is just that much better off, and the following hand illustrates this type of hand: Dismonds-—kK. 3, 6 & Clubs—J, 10, 8. ‘This is dealer's hand, and in counting it the Ace of Spades counts 4;"Queen 2; King of Hearts 3; King of Diamonds 3, Jack of Diamonds 1; Jack of Clubs 1, and the two 10s in the hand 1, or a total of 15. This hand is just short of being strong enough to bid more than one, but dealer should bid only one no trump with such a holding. ‘The one bids are the only bids af- fected by your position at the table, so these have to be given rather in dgtail.
