Que an analysis of the take-out based on

hold hand containing good cards and
good help for a no-trump bid, but also a
singleton or void suit which makes the
no-trump bid a doubtful proposition.
With this type of hand try to find the
suit bid that best fits the combined
hands of yourself and your partner. For
example, suppose your partner bids no
trump, second hand passes, and you

With this hand you should bid two
hearts and if your partner bids two no
trump, bid three clubs. 1t is strong
hand and ought to make game at either
hearts or clubs. On the other hand the
opponents may make a five card dia-

and so save game.
