| NONE |
| Style - open almost all 12HCP hands, some 11 HCPs.
Minors - 3+, inverted raises. Majors - 5 cards usually, could be 4 cards in 3rd/4th seat, with constructive raises to the 2 level. 1NT - 15-17, rarely 14, may have a 5-card major Preempts and weak 2 bids reasonably disciplined except in 3rd seat. Fit showing JS by a passed hand One-under JS in competition = mixed raise |
| vs. suits: opening = 3/5th, middle = attitude
vs. NT: opening 4th or second from a bad 4 card suit, middle = 4th/attitude. All carding and discards are 'standard' Standard Smith vs NT (if remember - often forgot) Trump suit preference Standard suit preference Ace from AK vs suits, except at the 5 level or higher, then A ask attitude, K asks count Ace lead vs NT = power card, asks partner to drop honor or give count (standard count) King lead vs NT asks attitude Otherwise, standard honor leads vs suit or NT |
| See above.
We signal count when we think partner needs to know, otherwise we follow suit and discard without signaling anything. |
