- If I must select a new suit, I reason as follows:
- 1. I try to find a suit that can't be trumped.
- 2. The suit should hopefully be long enough in
- either my hand or partner's to make the tricks we
- need to defeat the contract.
- 3. Dummy can't be too strong, although since I am
- playing First D, it is possible for my partner to
- either win the trick or promote a winner.
- 4. Hopefully my hand has honors, the more the
- better.
- 5. At this point I have already eliminated the idea
- of trying to kill dummy, draw trumps, and find
- partner with a kindly ruff.
