Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| NT:
Ace is a power lead at trick one asking for an unblock. Q shows QJ10x or KQ109x, asks for unblock of the jack, or attitude. Usual lead is fourth best. Second best from xxxx(x). Rely on judgement in the middle of the hand Suits: K from AK or KQ is asking for count; other leads standard; rely on judgement mid-hand |
Defensive Signals
| Upside Down count and attitude. Attitude shown first. Signals only made when we believe it will not cost a trick and will be more useful to partner than declarer. Count on opening lead of a king vs suit or when dummy wins with a jack or lower card. Suit preference at trick one when dummy is short. Suit preference when giving a ruff. Suit preference when we discard from a suit we already discouraged. |
