Bribes on figures

If you go to a certain suit with the exception of clogging, then the following combinations give such bribes: a crown and four-lane - 3 bribes; Trellis - 2 bribes; Ace, marjage, system and small system - 1 bribe. In all other cases, the presence of bribes in the figure is determined by the layout of the suit on the other two hands.
Bribes on the crown and ace can be taken immediately. If there is a marjage, trellis and four-lane, then you must first give one bribe to the ace (that is, play suit), for the system and a small system you need a double rally.
It is very important to understand that after drawing a suit you need to get a move again in order to take away your bribe (bribes).


We show this by examples

K87 - You can get a bribe to the king only if on one of the hands the ace will be either second or blank. Approximately 31% probability of a favorable layout. You need to walk one or two times from small cards and get a bribe to the king.
KV8 - two pieces in the same suit greatly increase the chances of taking a bribe. For example, if the ace and the lady are on different hands, then a bribe can be taken. Ace the second - you need to go from the eight and jack, the third ace - we go from the figure-eight and the king. If the hand has a TD7, then the bribe after the moves from the king and jack falls on the figure eight. In this case, the probability of taking a bribe is 62.5%. For comparison: KB7 - 56%; KB9 - 75%.
TD7 - in order to get an extra bribe, you need the king to be second or blank. The probability for two bribes will be 31%. If there is a TD10 then 56%, if TD9 is 37.5%. DV9 - 50%, DV8 - 25%, DV7 - 19.
