Bids that Require Advance Preparation

General Bidding Style

5 card majors, 2/1 GF. Very simple system

1N = (14+)15-17

Open 1c with 3-3, and 1d with 4-4.

Opening bids probably slightly sounder than modern average. May pass a bad balanced 12, especially if vul, yet may also upgrade a balanced 11 with good spots/honor placement.

Frequently respond to opening bids with fewer than 6HCP, especially non vul.

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

Leads vs. Suits:

4th best. Low from xxx(x) unless length promised.

A from AKx(+) except at 5-level+.

Standard honor leads.

Leads vs. NT:

4th best. May lead high or second high from xxxx(x). Usually high from xxx, except in partner's unsupported suit then low.

Standard honor leads. Ace asks for unblock or count. Q may be asking for unblock of J

Defensive Signals

Standard count, attitude and suit pref.

Spot card shifts are attitude. However, we normally shift to high from a doubleton, and may shift to middle from xxx in a suit contract, if a ruff is still in the picture.
