What are the requirements for a trick values.

What are the requirements for a
sound no-trump bid by dealers Practi-
cally all of the authorities agree that
one no-trump may be bid by dealer if
he holds two or more sure tricks divided
among three suits. There isn't much
difference OF opinion as to these require
ments but there is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to how these require
ments should be applied. AS an example
Of the difficulty, correspondent has
Just written for enlightenment as to the
meaning OF two tricks divided among
three suits" In order to make this
phrase perfectly clear, an analysis OF
card valuation is necessary.
The only cards sure OF taking tricks
are the four aces. A guarded king, i. C.,
a king and one or more OF suit, takes
trick just half the time, SO is clearly
worth one-half the value OF an acc. A
guarded queen, {. C., queen and two
or more OF a suit, will take trick about
half as often as king. so is worth one
quarter trick. There are four aces, four
kings and four queens Each player
is entitled to one-iourth OF these cards,
or to one ace, one king, and one queen,
which is called an average hand An
average hand, therefore, containing one
ace, one king, one queen, is valued at
one and three-quarter tricks. These
values are not enough to warrant a bid,
the least required being one queen more
than average, or two tricks II these
values are divided among at least three
suits, a no-trump may be b.d if the
values are confined to one suit, the suit
may be bid. 1t should be noted that if
two donors are held in sequence, the
lower honor takes the value OF the high
er. Thus, an ace and king in one suit is
valued at two tricks; king, queen at
one trick: queen, jack at one-half
trick. An ace, queen, jack combination,
and king, queen, jack combination
are each worth two sure tricks. Please
note that these values are all defensive
or so-called Sure tricks" that is, their
values as trick takers when the oppo-
nents arc playing the hand Their value
in support of their own or partners best
bid is approximately double their sure
