Bids that Require Advance Preparation
Over opponents 1NT (either weak or strong), 2 is one unknown major
1M-2  is game forcing, natural but could be as few as 2 in certain situations. 2 and 2 game forcing bids promise 5
Most jump shifts without competition are invitational |
General Bidding Style
| 2/1 strong NT 5cd majors
Openings generally start at 12 before considering distribution. 1 suit bids can be heavy so may respond lighter than 5. Standard opening lengths 5cd majors, 1 4+ or 4432 exactly, 1 3+
1NT 15-17, upgrades optional, usually for good 5cd suit. 5cd majors common including 4522. Other (5422) possible by judgement. (6322) rarely 2 opening game forcing unless opener rebids 2NT
Weak 2 /2/2 , typical higher preempts |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| Opening lead 4th best both suits/NT
Honor leads standard, A from AK unless 5+ level From xxx, if length is known or want switch lead high, else low Attitude leads mid hand |
Defensive Signals
| UDCA, most commonly attitude on partner's lead, count on declarer's. Suit preference if obvious. May elect to not give count if it appears it will help declarer more
