A dealer holding a stiff hand will bust if the next card is a 10. [2] Card counters do not need unusual mental abilities; they do not track or memorize specific cards.
The distributional points show the potential of the hand to take low-card tricks including long-suit tricks or short-suit tricks (ruffing tricks). Opener's DP count are less valuable as responders because usually trumping in the long side does not add tricks to the total number of tricks. Distributional hand values doubleton 1 points
