General Bidding Style
| 5-card majors, 2/1 = GF, 14+ - 17 NT
Often pass balanced 11 HCP Often open unbalanced 10 HCP Usually open 1 with 4-4 in minors
1m 1 1NT: could have 4
1m 1M 1NT: could have singleton in M 1 1NT: could have 4
1M 1NT = forcing 1M 2 = GF, 2+ clubs, likely no 5-card suit other than maybe clubs
14+ - 17 1NT: could have 5 M OR 6 m Constructive weak 2 and 2 bids in 1st/2nd
3-level preempts: bad at fav, good at unfav Namyats |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| 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 |
Defensive Signals
| 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 |
