ARTICLE No. 80

When a player, as dealer, picks up
his hand and finds that he has short
minor suit OF four cards, headed by the
ace, king, and long major suit Of FIVE
or more cards, headed by the jack,
queen OF king, there is still some differ
ence of opinion as to the correct bid.
There is really no choice, however, for
an original bid should always indicate
at least one sure trick In the suit bid. If
both suits contain top cards, then bid
the longer, but If che short suit only has
top cards, then bid that suit. For ex-
ample, the following hand has Just been
submitted:
Clubs Az
Diamonds - X, J,6
Spades *
What shoud<the dealer bid with this
handf The proper bid is undoubtedly
one diamond. Then, il overbid, show
the heart suit. OF course, the hand
should be played at hearts, but when a
player makes bid he has no guarantee
that he or his partner will play the
hand. For that reason he should show
his defensive tricks first so that if the
opponents win the final declaration, his
partner will know what to lead. Sup
pose, in the example yhand, the dealer
opened the bidding with one heart and
the opponent on left won the bid with
four spades. Does the dealer want a
heart opened9 Not by any means. The
o|sy suit that he wants opened is dia-
ZI hot sa ka
rect original bid.
Suppose the dealer, however. held
the following hand:
Hearts A, K,Q,7
Clubs "A, K, 81, ca
Diamonds - 10, 6
Spades u
With this hand the dealer should bid
one club because the clubs are not only
the longest suit but also because they
contain a sure trick.
With the following hand:
Hearts A, X, 90
Clubs - X, 10, 8, .6.2
Diamonds - 10. 6
Spades u
TIE proper opening bid is one heart. Let
your original bid mean sure tricks and
YOU will rever get into trouble. Secon-
dary bids - that is, those made on the
secon1 or subsequent round of bidding
- usually, show long suit without top
cards and, therefore, warn ones part
ner not to lead them unless his own
holding in the suit justi6es the lead.
There is still a more or less wide
divergence of opinion as to the type of
hand that justihes take-out of part
ner's original no-trump. second hand
