| 1. 1M-2C could be artificial game forcing, with the exception of limit raise with 3 trump support
2. 1M-3m is reverse Bergen 3. 1m-2H is reverse Flannary and 1m-2S is constructive raise 4. (1N)-2D = one major |
| General approach is 2/1 with 15-17 1N (upgrades).
2NT in competition is often artificial. Occasional very aggressive with 3rd seat openings and overcalls. |
| Opening lead against suits: 3rd/5th, from AKx+, K for attitude, A for count. K for count at 5-level
Opening leads against NT: 2nd/4th from length. From 3 smalls, either top or 2nd. Ace or Q asks for unblocking or count In the middle of hand, attitude is top priority, coded 10 or 9 unless HTx or H9x. |
| Upside-Down attitude/count, Standard Suit Preference. For remaining count, still upside down.
When partner leads, our priority is to give attitude, then count, then SP. When following declarer's suit, we often false card, but we give count if we deem the info is useful to partner. Reverse Smith vs. NT |
