For Playing Tricks we have a term and definition in Bridge.
Playing Tricks (Bridge) 
The number of tricks that your hand will take through power (assuming equal breaks of the missing cards), if you buy the contract. The most common way to figure playing tricks is to estimate how many tricks your long suit(s) will take and add that number to your quick tricks in other suits. For example, AQJ1043 AK43 A K3 would be 9.5 playing tricks -- 5 spades and 3 hearts (assuming each of the other three hands holds 3 hearts), plus the 1.5 quick tricks in the short suits.
