1![]() 1 ![]() 5 card Majors 1M-(P)-2 ![]() 1NT open could have a 5 card Major. We open most balanced 12 counts, (frequently lighter with distribution.) Overcalls wide range. Preempt wide range (2nd seat or unfavorable, more disciplined). Hands that look like weak 2's frequently opened at 3-level non-vul. "Two card" doubles below 3 level when we are competing |
VS NT
4th best leads. Second best from bad suits Frequently lead from 3 card suits K is the power lead (partner plays highest honor or count) Rusinow from length (4+) attitude shifts 10/9 leads and splits in middle of hand VS Suits 3rd and 5th leads. Opening lead - either the A or K vs. suits. Ace requests standard attitude unless dummy has a singleton, Kx, or KQx then partner's card is Suit Preference Opposite the King lead or ANY other opening lead, partner's card is suit preference. Attitude shifts in the middle of the hand Middle of hand, shift to either the A or Q requests standard attitude while K requests count. |
After trick one, we play standard count and attitude.
Our first signaling priority (after trick one) is attitude. Suit preference in trump In NT, if Dummy wins trick 1 with Q or lower, we give count Smith echo vs NT (high encourages) unless obvious count situation. Standard present count. When splitting, we split high 10/9 0 or 2 splits middle of the hand A or Q shifts request standard attitude while K requests count. |
