The goal of bidding is to discover your partnership's shared strength. To do this, you have to communicate with each other using bidding - that's why we use these rules.

The best place to play is in a major suit (H or S) with a "fit," which means at least 8 cards in the between your partnership's hands. If you don't have a fit but your

partner is strong in the suits you are weak in (your hands balance each other), no trump might be a good place to play. Remember that, without a trump, short suits are a

liability, so you need to have balanced hands to play NT, or it could get ugly. A minor fit is your last resort - with game at the 5 level, they are rarely the right place to be.

Note that bidding is structured to favor finding a good suit as soon as possible, and to prefer major suits. Major suit contracts make game at the 4-level, minor suits at

the 5, so this makes sense. No trump suits make game at the 3-level, but are harder to play and require more overall strength. Remember that the idea is to bid out your

hand -- when you have more information to give and any prayer to make game, keep making informative bids. When you no longer have a chance at game, stop bidding.
