Bids that Require Advance Preparation

2D Flannery - Exactly 4S and 5H (Although it is on GCC)

General Bidding Style

Standard 2/1 GF, 2M rebid shows 6
1NT 14+-17, could be with a 5-card major or 6-card minor
5-card majors, openings may be light and lead-directing in third seat.
Usually respond with an ace OR a 5-card major
May be light preempting in third seat OR when non-vulnerable

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

Opening leads are standard, A from AK, K is power against notrump
Attitude in middle of the hand, high tends to deny an honor, low tends to show one

Defensive Signals

Upside-Down count and attitude against suit and notrump contracts. Attitude is primary signal unless it is obvious you cannot have anything in the suit. Against slams we signal less often than against games/partscores.
