Standard American with a polish 1
Strong NT , 2/1 is not GF and 1nt is non-forcing Open balance most balance 12 counts 11 counts unbalance hands open, some 10s and rarely 9s 1 most likely has 5 but can be 5332 shape if less than 5 diamonds then either 4441 hands or 4 diamonds - 5 clubs. Hands exactly 4414 often open 1 and treated as balance. Will do frequent 4Card major overcalls at the one level and the hand may have longer minor. Raises of 1 level major overcalls generally have 4 card support. After opening bids doubles of preempts generally penalty oriented by responder. |
4th leads vs suits and notrump
Standard Honor leads except K from AK above 3nt leads in middle- high = no honor, low = honor Could give suit length signal in middle of hand Rare but Mud is possible on opening lead |
Standard Carding
Attitude then Count then Suit Preference in general However partner has wide liberties to give the signal that matters. Frequent Suit Preference in trump or side suits. |
