If you were dealt the perfect or the best winning hand possible, what would that hand look like? would it be ? : Spade: AKQJ Diamond: AKQ Club: AKQ Heart: AKQ

I haven't played bridge since high school and I was just learning it. I Googled "bridge card game chat room" and got - http://support.zonesysops.com/Card_Board.htm - where you can sign up for free at Zone.com and ask other members questions. I also found two tips here - http://www.webterrace.com/bridge/scoring.htm Quote: The top five trumps (A K Q J 10) are called honours. If one player holds all five of these cards, that player's side scores a bonus of 150 above the line. Four honours in one hand score 100. If there are no trumps, and a player holds four aces, that player's side scores 150 for honours. The second tip gives the correct sequence: Quote: The deck has four suits, Spades , Hearts , Diamonds , and clubs . I put the suits in this order because this is the way they are ranked while playing bridge. Spades is the highest, hearts, then diamonds and clubs. The ranking of these suits will become important during bidding. I would say you are on the right track, Mrs. D.D.
