In the average hand both players| together score only about 110 points. If you can score 60 points you will outscore your opponent and win the hand.
Now, you do your bidding with six cards, which are two-thirds of your hand. Therefore, to bid, you Ishould have two-thirds as many points as you will need to win the 3 2 hand. Two-thirds of 60 points are 40 points. If, in your first – šix cards, you have an expectation of scoring 40 points, then, with your full nine card hand, you may ex- Ipect to 60 points and defeat
