| Woolsey/opps' strong NT:
Double = 4-card M, longer minor 2C = majors 2D = 1 major 2M = 5-card M with 4+ minor Two-tiered splinters over 1M: 3M+1 = some weaker splinter. 4X = stronger splinter 1H-3NT = stronger spade splinter |
| 14+ to 17 NT openings
5-card M's 4-4 minors, opener's discretion, no particular rules Middle-of-road on opening bid strength. Will pass some balanced 12-counts, open some balanced 11's. In general, 2nd seat initial actions are strongest in context. 3rd seat can be lighter, especially if good lead director. |
| 3rd/low vs. suits
4th vs. NT, or 2nd highest/highest from small cards. King is big lead vs. NT, A/Q attitude Typically lead attitute in middle of hand. |
| Standard count, attitude, and Smith.
Primary signal is attitude, then count. Nothing special otherwise. |
