- Zach

General Bidding Style

5 card majors, longer minor (usually), 2/1, 14+-17 NT (Zach is more like 14-17 at white-white). 3rd seat openings can be very light.

Overcalls, preempt, vul and seat dependent.

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

3/low vs suit. 2/4 vs NT.

Standard honor leads vs suits, Rusinow vs NT from 4+ cards (K is power lead)

Leads in middle of hand are attitude (low like)
In cashout situation, leads are 3/5

In middle of hand (but not opening lead), 10/9 is 0/2 higher, J denies

Defensive Signals

standard carding at trick 1 (unless discarding)

Otherwise UDCA.

Standard SP and present count

Rev Smith vs NT at trick 2 only.

Trump suit preference

Primary signal attitude on partner's lead, count on declarer's lead. Slightly less SP than normal expert standards probably.
