vs suits:
low from odd top of sequence top from 3 or 4 small in partner's suit if raised A from AK+ K from KQ+ Q from QJ+ J = top T or 9 = 0 or 2 higher vs NT: A asks attitude about Q K asks unblock or count Q asks attitude for A, K or J Q from KQx J = top T or 9 = 0 o 2 higher in ruffing finesse: Q and T are high SP, J and 9 are low SP vs suits and NT: spot card leads are attitude during the hand 2nd best from QTx or [QJ]9x when leading around to nothing in dummy |
Standard count, attitude and SP
Normal signal priority: attitude, count, SP vs suits: ..obvious shift signals ..SP if sufficient choices when dummy's singleton is led ..SP by 3rd hand from long suit at T1 (middle = continue) ..occasional SP in trump vs NT: Smith by 3rd hand Rev Smith by opening leader |
