(This series of articles is based
on Culbertson's system of bidding), Trick Valuation
The valuation of the hand at s trump bid depends not only upon the honour tricks. On account of the powerful protection of trumps In both Declarer's and Dummy's hande, low cards in long and abort euita acquire a definite trick value, In order to obtain the exact value of the hand, it is therefore nece sary to count each of the three kind of tricks (honours, and low card tricke in long and short units) separately in each suit. The ex- pected number of tricks in any four card suit is made up of honour tricks and establishable low card tricks.
In a hand like Ace, King, 9, 6, 5, 2, two tricks are won with hon. ours (Ace and King), one trick! will be lost against the Queen, after which the three remaining low cards will be established in all five tricks.
