General Bidding Style
| Light opening bids at favorable or when primary suit is good. We do not open random balanced 10 or 11 counts. 3rd chair openers may be lead-directing. Favorable 3C openers are wide range.
All other opening preempts are considered normal based upon the vulnerability. Weak jump shifts in competition. |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| 3rd & low vs. suits. 4th best vs. NT. May lead attitude in the middle of the hand.
A from AK vs. suits and K=power lead vs. NT. Vs. NT we lead the queen from KQ or QJ. |
Defensive Signals
| Upside down count and attitude. Smith vs. NT.
Attitude is primary signal and may be suit preference if attitude is known and count unimportant. |
