Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| Rusinow vs suits (only with known length 4+) and notrump (if from 4+), with the following exceptions:
-- partner's suit -- dummy's suit -- side suit lead by preemptor; 3rd from even, low from odd vs suit 4th vs notrump Vs notrump, K is "power" lead (unblock or count), A is for attitude From known length may lead highest or 2nd highest from weak holdings In middle of hand, low spot suggests honor, high spot suggests no honor (except surrounding plays) |
Defensive Signals
| Standard signals:
Primary signal is attitude to partner's lead (vs suit, count on partner's lead of K if Qxx(x) is in dummy); count in suits played by declarer (but Smith may override) Standard Smith vs NT; Occasional SP signals in trumps When giving remainder count, standard (high-low = even, low-high = odd) |
