Opening bids may often have 10 points when nv can pass with balanced 11 Vul.(not obliged) 3rd seat openings may be very light and off-shape but typically not 1 and usually with a lead orienting reason. weak 2-Bids almost always 6/7 cards We often respond on nothing. We sometimes don't respond with decent hands. We often use DBL to show interest in advancing where others might use Dbl to show defense. We invert Pass and Dbl in many hi level auctions. Overcalls can be very weak when at favorable vulnerability but will usually include shape that might make a save profitable.
