Bids that Require Advance Preparation
| Over strong NT's we play: -- X = Penalty, -- 2  = Majors, -- 2  = s and a Major, -- 2M = Natural Over weak NT's we play: -- 2 = majors-- 2 = s + Major 2M Natural; DBL = Penalty, but one minor or both Majors by Passed Hand. Mini-splinters after 1M Transfers after a 1M opening or overcall and opponent's X starting with 1N. 1M - 3 = limit raise in major. Mixed raises in all suits. |
General Bidding Style
| Light opening bids depending on vulnerability. With 4-4 in minors we open 1 if suits are equal in strength - otherwise 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. |
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. |
