2 = + major in 4th seat
2  = + major in all positions by ph or uph 2 /2 = natural in all positions
Over weak NT's: dbl = penalty by an uph in direct or balancing dbl = meckwell by a ph 2 = majors by an uph

General Bidding Style
| Light opening bids depending on vulnerability. With 4-4 in minors we open the stronger one.
Favorable preempts at the 3 level are a wide range - may be very weak. 3rd seat openers may be light and lead-directing. Aggressive competitive bidding non-vul. 1 -2 = 6-9 hcp, 5+ and 4+
1m-2 = 11-12 balanced on by a ph
1m-2 = 10-11 hcp 5+ and 4+ |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| 3rd and low vs. suits. Attitude vs. notrump.
A from AK vs. suits. King is power lead vs. notrump and we lead the Q from KQ or QJ vs NT. We tend to lead attitude in the middle of the hand unless count is more important. |
Defensive Signals
| Standard and frequent signaling. Attitude most important. King asks for count at or above the 5 level. Smith echo vs. NT. Suit preference if singleton in dummy. |
