CONTRACTO
BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Does the fact that you hold a definite number of high-card tricks necessarily fulfil the requirements for an original bid in the con structive one over one system?
Certainly not. As I have often stated before, distribution is just as important a factor in contract as high-card tricks:
As you know, in this system, a first or second hand original bid shows a very fine hand. The bid- ding can be opened with a much weaker third or fourth hand-—espe- cially third hand-therefore before making an original first or second hand bid you should say to your.. self, "What will happen. 1f. I open the bidding with this hand and my partner responds with auch and such a bid?"
If you are not in a position to handle that response, then don't make an original bid. ́ It is for bet- ter to pass, and then on the second round make a highly constructive bid or even a forcing bld-to show that your hand did contain! a good number of high-card tricks but not the proper distribution for an original bið.
Take for example the following hand. South,the dealer, holda three and one-half high-card tricks. However, the hand is not well bal-,
