ARTICLE VII
THE LOW-CARD TRICKS
The low-card tricks are as val
uable os the high-card or honor
tricks. They are diligent workers,
to fill the po
_ sition of their
superiors, the
lungs, queens
and jacks, for
which j h cy
stand guard.
Low - card
tricks are
those won with
an h o n o r in
a card below
rank. There
are two classi
fications: the
long - suit and
Andrew L. Hill trick. A long
suit trick is a
card that is promoted to a winner
because of the length of that suit.
Any suit consisting of four or
more cards carries potential long
suit winners.
Should a player bid a suit of
which he held five cards he would
assume, until his partner had as
sisted or denied, that 3-3-2 was the
most probable distribution (aver
age) of the remaining eight cards
which would enable him to estab
suit trick expectancy:
A four card trump suit—1 low
suits of four cards or more are
calculated unon the same basis. On
this we base the following Jong
cani trick.
A live card trump suit—2 low
card tricks.
A six card trump suit—) low
card tricks.
In other words, count each care
in the trump suit, in excess oi
three as one trick each.
When a player bids a suit hi
may assume the most probable dis
tribution. But, for a side suit, thi
ne..t most probable distributior
4-3-1 should be expected. This
makes a difference of 100 per cent
We eau now understand why thi
long-suit tricks of the trump suit
are given twice the value of those
of the side suit.
For the long SHit tricks of thi
side suit, the following values an
assigned:
a iour card suit—Vb trick.
A five card suit—1 trick.
A six card suit—2 tricks.
D onot count long-suit tricks in
a suit which opponents have bid
Do not count a worthless four card
length (one that does not con
tan an honor) unless your part
ner has bid the suit. By adding
the length values to the honoi
tricks of a suit, you get the full
trick value of the suit.
Example: If K-Q-7-5-4 is bid a.
trump it is worth three playing
tricks, 1 honor trick and two long
suit tricks (for the fourth and
fifth cards).
There are many good players
who cannot evaluate their hands
on a basis of distribution. They
started on the wrong load. But, if
you get the right start, you can
learn within a few hours, to count
your hand with acucracy.
