An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In the game of contract bridge a three suiter (or three-suited hand) denotes a hand containing at least four cards in three of the four suits.

  • In the game of contract bridge a three suiter (or three-suited hand) denotes a hand containing at least four cards in three of the four suits. As a bridge hand contains thirteen cards, only two hand patterns can be classified as three suiters: 4-4-4-1 and 5-4-4-0. In natural bidding systems, strong three suiters are often difficult to describe, as — following the likely response of partner in the short suit — they do not allow for a high-level notrump rebid, nor for a reverse bid. Some systems therefore use dedicated opening bids to describe strong three-suited hands (e.g. the 2♦ opening in the ). The standard treatment to describe a three-suited hand after an opposing opening in a suit is the takeout double. Conventions like the and can be used to introduce a three-suited hand after an opposing 1NT opening. (en)
