Two-Bid Assures Game—New Rule Provides for Excess of
Honor Tricks over Losers to Permit
Strong Opener
This in the seventh oi me
series of articles on the new
“Culbertson System Self-Teach
er," by Louis H. Watson and
I. H. Bloom.
* * *
One of the saddest errors fre
quently made by Inexperienced
players is the Inaccurate use of the
game-guarantee opening bid of two
in a suit.
Years ago such opening bid was
advocated If the hand contained
about five honor tricks and a bid
ding suit. Later, experience dis
closed the fallacy of this yardstick,
because it was found that an open
ing bid of two In a suit most fre
quently led to a hopeless game or
slam contract, which was defeated
because It was arrived at unjusti
fiably.
Too many players still follow
this “rule” and even today are
“banging” weak two-bids at their
partners with alarming frequency.
Modern practice dictates that the
bidding start with an opening bid
of one, except with hands that are
so strong that game seems certain;
and that a probable slam contract
can be made If some slight strength
can be found In partner’s hand.
In the last four or five years
several formulas have been ad
vanced fur determining whether an
opening hand contains a justifiable
bid of two In a suit. Fundamen
tally, there are two necessary
qualifications for such opening bid;
1. The hand should contain at
least four honor tricks, to sup
port a possible slam try during
the later round of bidding.
2. The hand should contain enough
playing tricks practically to
guarantee game.
Both these qualifications have
been Incorporated Into a new
formula which automatically and
quickly determines whether your
hand contains a Justifiable opening
bid of two In a suit. Here It Is:
Open the biddinr with two
in a suit only when your hand
contains a' biddable suit and
more honor tricks than losers.
Tills formula Is simplicity Itself.
What do we mean by "losers"?
The losers in a generally strong

hand can easily be determined, be
cause they represent the low. un
protected cards in the various
suits. But where the losers are
not so easily determined, you simply
add up the playing trick strength
of the hand, which, subtracted
from 13, will indicate the number
of losers in the hand.
Then, if the hand contains more
honor tricks than losers, you have
a sound opening bid of two In a
suit. Consider the following ex
amples:

In hand A you have one loser
in spades, two in hearts (the heart
nine is a loser and you may rea
sonably expect to win only one
trick with the fourth and fifth
hearts), one in diamonds, and one
In clubs— a total of five losers.
Since the hand contains 6 1-2 honor
tricks (more honor tricks than
losers), It Justifies a sound opening
bid of two hearts.
In hand B you have three losers
in spades, none in hearts, two in
diamonds and one in clubs, or a
total of six losers. Since the hand
contains only five-plus honor tricl>s
It cannot be open'd as a two-Wd,
and therefore calls for a one-spade
bid.
