After 1![]() ![]() ![]() After a 1m opener, 2 ![]() ![]() Transfers and transfer cuebids after opponents overcalls in comp. A Cuebid after an opponent's 1 ![]() ![]() Vs. ST NT we play 2 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vs. WK NT we play dbl = penalty, 2 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vs. ST clubs we play DBL = majors, natural 1 level overcalls, 1N = canape major/minor, 2 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
We rebid 1N with all balanced hands and bypass rebidding a major at the 1 level. Fairly standard bidding style otherwise. 3rd seat openings may be simply lead-directing with fewer highcards and 4 card majors certainly possible. We tend to open 1![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1N is semi-forcing over 1M. Doubles in comp are typically takeout and remain typically takeout if partner has bid. Our 2/1 style in comp is fairly normal. Lots of mixed raises, very rare psychics. Aggressive 1st seat weak 2's at FAV. vulnerability. |
3rd and 5th vs. suits. A from AK vs. suit. 4th best vs. NT. K = power lead vs. NT. Rusinow vs. NT. May lead random spot cards from poor holdings vs. NT contracts. Leads in the middle of the hand may be more attitude oriented. If partner has bid a suit, we would lead low from 3 small. We rarely violate our lead conventions. |
Standard count and attitude. Attitude takes preference in most cases. Standard suit preference if dummy has a singleton. Suit preference is declarer's trump suit. We signal only when we feel it helps partner. Smith Echo vs. NT. |
