Bids that Require Advance Preparation
1m 2 = Balanced invite
1m 2  = Mixed raise
Transfers after 1M opening or overcall, double (1NT) 2  = multi, ie one major |
General Bidding Style
| Very normal expert standard type style
1NT often upgraded with 14 and 5 card suit Balanced 11 only opened if it's good Few pertinent differences between Josh agreements with Arti and with Bill, none require advance prep. For example, 3014 with Bill, 1430 with Arti. |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| 3/5 suits, 4th nt or possibly 2nd from bad 4+ card suit.
Josh-Bill: Rusinow from 4+ vs notrump (and Q from KQx - K is power). Coded 9s and 10s midhand. Josh-Arti: Std honor leads - king power vs notrump. |
Defensive Signals
| UDCA
Typically attitude on partner's lead, count on declarer's lead, suit preference if dummy has a singleton or continuing is clearly wrong. Suit preference can be given in trumps or after primary signal is given or if we believe partner has led a singleton. Reverse smith echo with Bill, standard smith echo with Arti. Standard present count. |
