Bidding No-Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some Bridge players feel jittery when they make a One-No-Trump opening bid. It is understandable. It is necessary to keep track of all four suits, and if they are fairly new players, this may seem daunting. However, a lot of contracts are bid in No-Trump. After all, you can make a game by taking only nine tricks rather than ten in a major suit, or eleven tricks in a minor suit. Of course, if the opponents then make an opening lead of the Queen of Diamonds (the top of a sequence) against your One-No-Trump contract, and that is the one suit that you hoped they wouldn\u2019t lead, things can get rough.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Although No-Trump is opened initially, the final contract often ends up being played in a suit. Next week, we will begin to look at a valuable toolkit of conventions that help players discover major suit games in Hearts or Spades, or even on occasion in long minor suits in hands that were opened originally in No-Trump.<\/p>\n

In old-fashioned Bridge, No-Trump was only bid when the player had a balanced or semi-balanced hand with all suits stopped. Like a lot of bidding in Bridge though, No-Trump bidding has evolved over the years to include some pretty distributional hands. Recently, it\u2019s even become OK to open a hand in No-Trump with a singleton as long as the singleton is an Ace, King or Queen. Sometimes, I think I see players\u2019 trembling a little as they contemplate making such a bid. But remember, just because you open No-Trump, it doesn\u2019t mean that you will end up playing the hand in No-Trump. You may discover a potent suit contract.<\/p>\n

Another distributional change that was made some time ago is to open One-No-Trump with a five-card major. Quite a few players still adhere to not opening One-No-Trump (15 to 17 points) when they have a five-card major suit. The problem with this is that the opener\u2019s second bid becomes inaccurate. If he opens with a good five-card Spade or Heart suit, the partner knows about the distribution, but she doesn\u2019t know the strength of the hand. The hand could be a twelve-point squeaker or a seventeen-point wonder. If the opener rebids One-No-Trump after his partner\u2019s response, his partner may think the opener\u2019s hand is worth 12 to 14 points which is weaker than it is, and she may pass.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

If the opener\u2019s hand is a gem, and his rebid is a jump to Two-No-Trump, his partner may think that the hand is worth 18 to 19 points, which is stronger than it really is, and she may go on to a game that cannot be made. Many modern players prefer to first show their partner the power of their hand, and, if possible, introduce the five-card suit later in the bidding. It is less confusing. But whichever system you use, make sure that you and your partner are on the same wave-length.<\/p>\n

Some players are very conservative when opening One-No-Trump. If they have stoppers in three suits, but none in the fourth suit, they won\u2019t take a chance and bid No-Trump. Often their partner will have a stopper in the missing suit. Sometimes the No-Trump bidding ultimately will reveal a strong major-suit fit, and the contract will be played in Hearts or Spades. Sometimes their partner unfortunately doesn\u2019t have a stopper, but the opener and his partner between them may have enough small cards in the suit that they can manufacture a stopper from the small cards and still make the contract. Some players will not bid No-Trump on a hand that contains two doubletons, even if the two doubletons each contain an Ace or a King as a stopper. What they may miss by not opening One-No-Trump is finding that they have a fit for one of the longer suits in the hand and miss a game. Also, their partner may have good support for the opener\u2019s doubletons, and a No-Trump contract is viable.<\/p>\n

However, if the opponents have opened the bidding with something like a One-Heart bid and the opening player on the other side has a 16-point One-No-Trump hand, he should only bid One-No-Trump if he has the opponent\u2019s Heart suit stopped. It would be foolish to do otherwise. Obviously, the opponents have values in the Heart suit, and obviously, the suit is likely to be led. If he can\u2019t stop Hearts, he will open a suit, (perhaps using the Better Minor convention as we discussed last week), or he may bid a Takeout-Double.<\/p>\n

A lot of top Bridge players believe the statement: \u201cThe victory goes to the bidder.\u201d I haven\u2019t seen documented statistics proving this, but I see it happen routinely at the table. Go for it.<\/p>\n
