Upside-down count, attitude, and suit preference.
Signaling priority normally attitude, suit-preference, count, although we try to be context-sensitive. Reverse Smith Echo versus NT. With singleton in dummy attitude can apply if tapping dummy a possible defense. If dummy wins trick one in NT, third hand signals count. Frequent suit preference in trumps and in order of cashing equals. Third hand has mandatory trick one pause if declarer plays quickly from dummy |
