Vs. suits = 3rd and 5th, rusinow honors (not in partner's suit)
Vs. NT = 4th best (may lead higher with bad holding). Rusinow, Ace from AK, King is strong lead. Vs. Both: Later in hand we lead attitude and J/T/9 = 0 or 2 higher in most situations. |
Upside down signals except standard at trick 1 (but if 3rd hand has promised 4+, upside down at trick 1 also). Attitude first, then suit preference, finally count. Suit preference in trumps. Suit preference if singleton is in dummy.
Smith echo by both hands (hi-low says we like suit). |
