To put it another way, you are
justified in opening with a two
bid if your hand will come within
one trick of making game with
out any dnelp whatsoever from
partner.
OF course you should have al
least four honor tricks, and the
, reason for this is that if you hold
less the opponents may actually
outhold you in high cards. Then
If they enter the bidding your
partner may start doubling them

holding.
In considering his hand for q
two bid in today'S deal, Mr.
Masters figured there were a
number of slight values which
his partner could have - not
enough for a response to one
heart opening, and yet enough tc
round out a 10-trick game al
hearts.
The queen of spades would dc
1t or a doubleton spade and
several trumps. The king of clubs
would be satisfactory.
A singleton club or even a
doubleton club might serve. Or
Mr.. Meek could have one Of the
red aces and no other honor
cards. (He is not one to stretch
to keep a one bid open)
There are other cards and dis
tributions which Mr.. Masters
might find across the table which
would make game a certainty
All in all. he felt he would have
to be extremely unlucky to find
Mr.. Meek's hand absolutely
worthless.
With his pitiful holding, Mr.,
Meek naturally took a very
gloomy view of the proceedings,
Even with a partner like Mr..
Masters he expected to go set at
four hearts.
