Bids that Require Advance Preparation
2 opening is multi, showing a single-suited major weak 2 bid with 3-8 HCP, slightly variable based on vulnerability. There is no strong option to our multi. 5 cards suits are possible, especially nv.
2  & 2 opening bid is constructive, either 8-11 or 9-12 HCP, depending on vul, and at least a 6 card suit. |
General Bidding Style
Opening 1NT is 14-16 except 3rd red or all vuls 4th where it is 15-17. We tend to open balanced 11s non-vul but can pass them vul. 3rd seat openings can be light and lead-directional, especially non-vul. 1 opening is 3+. 5 card majors. 4 card majors are possible in 3rd or 4th seat. |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| Vs Suits:
3/5 spot card leads Rusinow Honor Leads, except: 1) When we preempt and lead a side suit 2) Dummy's first bid suit of 4+ known cards 3) Partner's suit of 4+ known cards 4) Declarer's suit of 4+ known cards Vs. NT: 2nd and 4th leads from length NT honor leads are rusinow style from 3+ cards King is power lead Positive att on ace lead asks partner to continue with king. |
Defensive Signals
| We play UDCA (nothing like standard carding at Trick 1 because Adam forgets this too often)
Discards are upside-down Remaining count is standard if given. Mid-hand shifting is attitude. 3/5 in "Cash-out" situations... when count extremely relevant. Misc: Trump suit preference vs. suits Reverse smith Echo vs. NT We tend to give suit-preference in many situations but Attitude is our primary signal at T1. We try to only signal when partner needs it. |
