A hand might very easily contain two and one-half quick tricks and still not justify a no trump bid. If these quick tricks are confined to ome suit, the suit bid is the correct bid. If these quick tricks are dis- tributed among two suits only, it is net advisable to bid no trump. Experience has shown that with two suits unpro- tected, a no trump bid seldom is sound. For that reason, to justify a bid of one Do trump, the hand must contain at least two and one-half quick tricks ana these should be distributed among at least three suits. That leaves only one suit for partner to protect or, if he also has no protection, only one suit for opponent to make, In case the dealer has a singleton of a suit or none at all, experience has shown that the no trump bid as a rule is a losing bid. For that reason with this type of band, it is better to bid a sult even though hand contains two and onehalt quick tricks divided among three suits.
