- The play of no trump is best analyzed by determining the total
- winners in the combined hands, then planning your attack to
- find the additional winners needed to make game.
-
- The best suit is one which will give you all the eventual
- winners you will need without developing a second suit.
-
- Any suit with eight or more cards in the combined hands is an
- obvious choice, since it may give you one or more distribution
- winners. The probability that 5 cards will break 3/2 is 62.5%.
- Even a suit with seven cards in the two hands may split 3/3 in
- the opponent's hands. Here, however, the odds are against you.
-
- Once you have decided on the suit you need to develop, you
- usually attack this suit while you still have control in the
- other suits. In some cases you may have to finesse.
-
- The nice thing about the computer game is that you can play the
- game over and over until you get it right. Soon it will become
- second nature, and you will be able to play with less effort.
