He should bid three no trump with as little as one honour trick if he lacks the re- quirements for a raise or suit take- lout. He sholud take out a minor into a major suit with a five card or longer biddable ́ suit and one honour trick or more in the hand, and should take out into a lower ranking suit if he holds a biddable suit with two and one-half honour tricks in the hand.
If the three bid is of the old fashioned preemptive type, the res- ponder should not raise with less than three winners [playing tricks]
