General Bidding Style

Standard 2 over 1 style with 14 + - 17 NT. We open all 12 point hands and 10 or 11 points with shape. We play 5 card majors but in 3/4 seat it may only be 4. With 4-4 in minors we tend to open 1D We play Walsh style so 1 p 1 p 1N could contain one or both majors. We play 2 way checkback regardless of minor opened. All invitational auctions start with 2c over NT rebid. Jumps are GF. 1m p 2m+1 is 5+S and 4+H non invite and 1m p 2m+2 is same except invitational 1m 3m and 1M 3M are mixed. transfers over 1M x regardless of how we got there. Over 1M opening jump to 2 Under is a LR.
