No trump is the 5th suit -:) in bridge, valued above ♠️♥️♦️♣️. Playing NT requires a little skill because there isn’t a trump suit. If a lowly 2♣️ is led and others don’t have ♣️, no matter how high the card is played, the lowest 2♣️ wins the trick.
- How to score rubber: one of the team to win two games which means 200 points (contract points) that records below the line.
- winning bid’s points – contract points – record below the line, overtricks are above the line, which doesn’t count toward rubber.
This above hand, I opened with 1N – even I’ve a void which isn’t too good in NT bidding.
Me NT, pass, my partner 2♥️, pass; I rebid at 4♥️. My right led with A♠️ which we ruffed with 3♥️. We made the game, winning 10 tricks.
