Good day M Delokk! My question is when partner opens 2 of a suit (except for clubs) I know he/she has 6 cards in that suit and I should count my quick tricks (with a fit of course). I start counting after 2 quick tricks to raise partner's suit. But what if partner opens with 3 of a suit, do I start counting after 3 quick tricks? Or do we always cancel the first 2 quick tricks and start counting from there because it doesn't matter how high partner bid in his/her preemptive bid. Thank you very much!
JD, same applies if they open 4 of a minor. You need 3 quick tricks to raise to 5. As a side note, always limit your raise to the game level, don’t use quick tricks to bid higher.
2:00 What is the process used by the partner to calculate the contract failing by about 2 tricks? Also, do we leave out dummy points because quick tricks are used?
Hi. Partner doesn't actually calculate the failure specifically. The system itself is designed for a weak opening bid to fail by about two tricks. This is to make bidding harder for your opponents and to offer a potential sacrifice. When you respond you count quick tricks and nothing else. You don't count any type of points.
10:47 The Opener may in fact have just 1 of the top three cards. Just to be sure, is it an assumption to be made by the responder that the weak opening always shows 2 of the top 3 cards?
Yes, you are correct. Opener may have only one of the top three, but in that case will have extra length. Assume two of the top three and bid accordingly.

Hi JD. You always start counting after two quick tricks. If Partner opened 3, they effectively have the extra trick.

May I know if this fail by 2 tricks estimation also applies with other weak openings for instance with level 3 openings such as 3C?@@jadbridge
@@khuntankrub Nice question. Indeed the fail by 2 tricks applies to all weak openings.

How to access deals by number
Hi Peter. The deal numbers are just to make it possible to refer to a specific deal. There is no way, at least for now, to access a specific deal.
