Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

Suits: 3/low, std honor leads, aK asks for count at 5 level, or alarm clock (usually side singleton) at lower levels.

NT: 2/4, Rusinow honor leads from 4+, AQJx can lead Q or J.

Mid-hand: attitude primary, but try to lead 3/5 if spot looks consistent, e.g. lead the 3 from K732 or K873.

Defensive Signals

Exceptions to attitude at trick 1:
K lead at 5 level: count
Singleton in dummy or presumed led in a suit contract: suitpref
Can't beat dummy's J or equivalent at NT: count
Futureless suit at NT, such as AKQ in dummy: suitpref.

Usually give multiple shades of SP before count.
