Bids that Require Advance Preparation

One of minor, pass, 2H shows 5S and 4/5H with 3-8 HCP.

1S - 2H is non-forcing, 5+H; 5-8HCP. 1S - 1NT by NPH can be a huge hand with hearts.

3NT Acolish:16+-19 with very good 6+ minor.

General Bidding Style

5 card majors and 2/1 (except 1S-2H); may be 4 cards in third and sometimes 4th seat; 1NT = 14+-17; 2NT = 20-21; 3NT = 16+-19 with very strong minor and at least 2 of each major.

2C strong; 2D 4S/5H,11-15 HCP; 2H/2S six card suit, 5-10 HCP, may be 5 cards in third seat.

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

3rd and 5th vs Suits; 4th best vs NT but higher from weak holding. A from AK below 5 level. If K from AK, then shift is to non-trump is a singleton. 9s/10s show 0 or 2 higher.

Defensive Signals

Upside-down, count and attitude; odd-even discards. Attitude is priority except when count or suit preference is obvious.
