2/1
Transfer Responses to 1 ![]() 1 ![]() 1 ![]() 2 ![]() ![]() ![]() With 13 HCP, many but not all hands open 1N when NV |
Generally light initial actions, conservative responses when we don't have a fit.
We open aggressively nonvul and fairly standard vulnerable. We tend not to pass 1 ![]() When nonvul, weak 2s can be 5 cards, 3 level preempts are rather light |
3/low vs suits, Attitude against NT
Rusinow from 4+ against NT with K as power -- e.g. Q from KQx or QJx but J or small from QJxx Rusinow against suits Coded 9s and 10s mid hand Attitude mid hand - if need count for cashing out, then it is 3/5th |
UDCA - primary signal is attitude
When partner leads a suit in which we are known to have 5+length, a middle card is encouraging, high or low is suit preference. We try to figure out based on situation whether count or suit preference will be most useful when attitude is known. First discard is generally upside down attitude but may have suit preference overtones in a suit where attitude is known. Standard remainder count when giving count after first round. Trump play suit preference if meaningful. Reverse smith vs NT at trick 2 only |
