I wonder why some players con- tinually allow high card tricks to wrock them.
Deal certain people four or five quick tricks and they immediately want to open with a forcing bid. Regardless of the responses given by partner, they are sure reach a slam.
The next time you are dealt a number of high card tricks, pro- ceed cautiously. Remember that avery high card that you have in your hand is one less that your partner holds. You may not even be able to get into his hand to take a necessary finesse, or lò că- tablish your long suit
As a matter of fact, hands con- taining six and seven high card tricks, without a long auft, will seldom produce a slam, for the high reason that there cards left to enter partner's hand- with.

one-half quick tricks and think, "Hurray, I have an opening two- bid."
Well, I wouldn't even consider opening the hand with a forcing sult bid of two, Let's count up the tricks that you are apt to win -two spades, three hearts at the best, a diamond and two clubs if you are lucky-eight in all.
Therefore you must and a trick in partner's hand in order to go game at no trump. If you insist on opening with a forcing bid, at least don't bid any more than two no trump.
That is the weakest original two bid made in the constructive one over one system. It doesn't absolutely guarantee game in your own hand but it does state that your hands le so big that you think it impossible not to go game.
If you were to open this hand with two no trump In the South, North will bid three no trump. If he does not bid more than this, you certainly muat pass on the next round.
By taking three finesses and finding the queen of hearts right, aix no you are able to produce trump. West would open a spade which you would win with the king. You have only one entry card in the dummy-the king of dia- monds. Your beat bet at this point is to try to create another entry. Therefore you should lead a small heart to dummy's jack. If West refuses to win, the trick will be won in dummy with the jack.
The jack of clubs will be led from dummy and if East refuses to cover the ten should be played. Another club should be led and the queen finessed. Then a dia- mond should be led to dummy's king. The jack of diamonda should now be finessed and all that you need do is to grant your epponents a heart trick.
Just because six odd was made on this hand, don't try to find Home reason why it should be bid. The hand is not even close to a sound slam bid, as neither side has a sult with which to work.
In other words, slams can best be made when you have a long sult with which to work. Ilanda [containing only four eard sulta are often difficult to make game with, even though they have an abundance of high card tricks.
