| Players: | John Jones - Rick Roeder | ||
| System Summary Form, 2020 USBC
Players: John Jones - Rick Roeder Bids that Require Advance Preparation 2D is a weak-two bid in either major (no strong option) 2H or 2S show 5+ in that suit and a 5+ card minor with weak-two bid strength. 3NT = Preempt in a minor 4C,4D = Good 4H/4S opening |
| General Bidding Style
5 card Majors, 12-14 NT (except 15-17 3rd seat, VUL), may have 11 NV. 2/1 forcing to game by an unpassed hand We open unbalanced hands with 11 or possibly 10 HCP May respond with a weak hand NV preempts may be quite light. Wide range preempts if partner is a PH |
| Vs suits on opening lead: Parity = highest affordable from even, lowest from odd. May lead high from 3 small in partner's raised suit or if partner can infer we have length. Rusinow (second highest) honor leads versus both suits and NT
Vs NT on opening lead: 4th best, occasionally 2nd highest or highest. A from AKx, King asks unblock or count, Q shows K, J shows Q, T shows J, 9 may show T. Vs Both: In the middle of the hand, 10/9 may be zero or 2 higher |
| Upside Down Attitude and Count.
Signaling priority is Attitude, Count, Suit Preference. We give frequent suit preference including in the trump suit. Alarm Clock Smith vs NT: High by leader suggests a shift, high by 3rd hand suggests continuation. |
