1![]() ![]() ![]() Other 2/1 responses are natural game forces, and 2NT and 3 ![]() We can choose either path, relaying or starting with a suit. Always start with relaying when balanced or a game-forcing raise. 1 ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 ![]() ![]() 1NT P 2 ![]() 1NT P 3 ![]() 3NT opening shows a solid 7+ card major with little outside. |
Precision, basically "Meck-lite" style.
1 ![]() ![]() ![]() We almost always open balanced 11, not usually balanced 10. We try not to pass opening bids, especially 1 ![]() Any bid may be upgraded but we are not crazy, there will be a reason. Like, 1NT 14-16 with 13 will usually have a good five-card suit, or great spot cards, it won't just be random. Downgrades are rare. Overcalls are more likely to be light than to be 4 cards, but anything is possible. Preempt style is relatively down the middle. |
4th best against notrump, 3/5 against suits.
From AK against suits, typically A from an even number, K from an odd number. Rusinow against notrump. A from AK holdings, Q from KQ and so on down. K asks for count/unblock. |
Upside down count and attitude.
Generally attitude first. Nothing much special about our signalling. Suit preference when we can. No Smith echo. |
