Sheinwold On Bridge Don’t Rely Entirely On The Point Count By Alfred Sheinwold National .Men's Team Champion Almost all good players rely on the point count for their bids, counting 4 points for each ace. 3 for each king. 2 for each queen, and 1 for each jack. For some bids, however, you count playing tricks rather then points. West opened the right of

If West had the queen of spades, South could make the contract by ruffing with the ace of spades and then finessing through West for the queen. If East had the queen of spades South could make his contract by ruffing the third heart with

player who had made all of the

bids."

It was naive of Soutn to think ! of points in this situation. East needed 11 or 12 red cards to bid his suits tothe level of five. The queen of spades would be a liability to East, not an asset. East needed tricks, not points. The proper reasoning would 'lead to the right answer. If

What do you say? Answer: Bid one heart. You can virtually guarantee a game, but it is dangerous to open with a forcing two-bid with less than 4 Quick Tricks. All
