Bids that Require Advance Preparation

General Bidding Style

We play 2/1, and open most balanced 11 counts 1/2. In 3rd seat we can usually be up to a queen less normally with lead directing purposes. 5-card major openings
We preempt light when NV and can have a five-card suit NV. We will very rarely have a 5-card suit V.
Our minor direct overcalls over 1H or 1S are fairly sound. Our one level overcalls are usually fairly normal, and our two level major overcalls are fairly normal too.
Our jump overcalls are weak and have a fairly wide range when partner is a passed hand or we are NV
14+-17 NT vul and 14-16 NT non-vul, do not upgrade often

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand


3rd/5th best against suits, 4th against NT. 2nd best from nothing, and usually will be done against NT. Honor leads are standard. Switches in NT usually signal attitude for that suit.

Defensive Signals


Upside Down signaling, with a priority of Attitude, then count, then suit preference.

Signaling is often, and includes in the trump suit and discards.

We play reverse smith echo in notrump
